Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky Thursday said around 100,000 people had evacuated the country's cities in two days, but accused Russian forces of targeting a humanitarian corridor in the city of Mariupol.

He said he decided to send a convoy of trucks into the besieged port city with food, water and medicine, but "the occupiers launched a tank attack exactly where this corridor was supposed to be", Zelensky said in a video statement, describing it as "outright terror".
