Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba on Wednesday accused Russia of holding 400,000 Mariupol residents hostage by bombing the southern Ukrainian port city despite efforts to create a safe humanitarian corridor for civilians.
“Nearly 3,000 newborn babies are deprived of medicine and food,” he wrote on Twitter. “Russia continues to hold more than 400,000 people hostage in Mariupol, obstructing humanitarian aid and evacuation. The bombing continues.”
Russia continues holding hostage over 400,000 people in Mariupol, blocks humanitarian aid and evacuation. Indiscriminate shelling continues. Almost 3,000 newborn babies lack medicine and food. I urge the world to act! Force Russia to stop its barbaric war on civilians and babies!

Russia has denied that it was targeting civilians in what it calls a “special operation” in Ukraine.
