A new attempt to evacuate Ukrainian civilians from besieged Mariupol was "thwarted" on Saturday, an aide to the city's mayor, Petro Andryushchenko, said on his Telegram channel, blaming Russian forces.

Andryushchenko said 200 residents of Mariupol had gathered to be evacuated but that the Russian military told them to disperse and warned of possible shelling.
