Russia Ukraine war live updates: The number of Ukrainian refugees was expected to reach 1.5 million on Sunday as Russia continued its attack 11 days after invading Ukraine and Kyiv pressed for further Western action, including more sanctions and weapons.
Moscow and Kyiv traded blame over a failed ceasefire plan that would have let civilians flee Mariupol and Volnovakha, two southern cities besieged by Russian forces. Another round of talks was tentatively planned for Monday as Ukrainians who could escape spilled into neighboring Poland, Romania, Slovakia and elsewhere.
India said on Saturday focused its evacuation efforts in Ukraine on the eastern city of Sumy, where hundreds of Indian students have made appeals to be rescued amid dwindling food supplies and shelling by Russian forces.
On Friday, almost all stranded Indians left the eastern city of Kharkiv and the nearby village of Pisochyn in buses and other vehicles.
