Ukrainians trapped by Russian forces unable to receive aid



Ukrainians trapped by Russian forces in the country are facing a humanitarian crisis after international aid has been unsuccessful at making it through Russian attacks.

Information gathered by a group of Ukrainian journalists, dubbed the Ukrainian Volunteer Journalists Initiative, found Russian forces that have captured Ukrainian cities are not letting the trapped citizens receive the supplies they need.

The Russians are blocking humanitarian corridors despite agreements between Ukraine and Russia to create pathways for aid to safely make it into the country, the group said.

Dmytro Kuleba, minister of foreign affairs in Ukraine, tweeted on Tuesday the people in the city of Mariupol are held captive under Russians who have not allowed humanitarian aid to enter the area. The lack of aid has lead to the death of a child, he said.
