Russia continue "preventing evacuations" of civilians - Ukraine

Russian shelling is still preventing the evacuation of people from besieged cities, Ukraine says.

Attacks are said to continue despite a proposal from Russia to create safe escape routes out of Kyiv, Mariupol, Sumy and Kharkiv

Ukraine branded the proposal "immoral" after it emerged many of the routes would only take civilians to Russia or its ally Belarus.

Third round of peace talks have "little progress"

The third round of talks between Ukraine and Russia have come to an end.

A Ukrainian adviser to the president's office said there was some "small positive" progress on the logistics of humanitarian corridors. And Reuters news agency quoted a Ukrainian negotiator as saying no agreement had been reached that significantly improved the broader situation.

A Kremlin aide said the talks in Belarus had "failed to live up to our expectations", in remarks broadcast on Russian TV.

Both sides say talks will continue.
