Russia faced growing outrage Thursday after an attack on a children's hospital in the besieged southern port city Mariupol left at least three people dead, including one child, according to Ukrainian officials.

With the war entering its third week, a meeting between the countries' top diplomats failed to produce any breakthroughs. Ukraine's foreign minister said he made clear his country will not "surrender" during a meeting in southern Turkey with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, on Thursday.

The talks came as Ukraine sought to evacuate more residents trapped in hard-hit areas and accused Russia of war crimes for targeting civilians. More than 83,000 residents were evacuated from areas across the country in the past two days, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Thursday in a post on Telegram.

But attempts to create a humanitarian corridor for residents in the heavily-hit port city of Mariupol failed again amid continued fighting, Ukrainian officials said. Meanwhile, civilian casualties had risen to more than 1,500, including 549 people killed, according to the United Nations.
