…Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk in a video message announced efforts to create new humanitarian corridors to bring aid to people in areas occupied or under Russian attack around the cities of Kherson in the south, Chernihiv in the north and Kharkiv in the east.
Rescue convoys to Mariupol, a city of 430,000, were targeted by Russian shelling.
"They have a clear order to hold Mariupol hostage, to mock it, to constantly bomb and shell it," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address to the nation. He said the Russians began a tank attack right where there was supposed to be a humanitarian corridor….
Residents, Volkov said, are turning on one another: "People started to attack each other for food."
Ukrainian authorities said.
"They want to destroy the people of Mariupol. They want to make them starve," Vereshchuk said. "It's a war crime. You will definitely be prosecuted for complicity in war crimes," Zelenskyy said in a video address, warning that "you will be hated by Russian citizens."
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed such talk, saying the country has endured sanctions before. ″We will overcome them," he said at a televised meeting of government officials. https://www.newsmax.com/headline/russia-ukraine-war-attacks/2022/03/11/id/1060693/

"I don't think that there will be a ceasefire, and until we are getting more and more weaponry, the shelling of the cities will continue," Rudik said in an interview with "Wake Up America" from the Kyiv Passenger Railway Station, where she pointed out refugees who arrived after the evacuation from Irpin, located on the northwest edge of the capital city.
"We do know that and we have seen that," she continued, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not changed "his plan to conquer the whole [of] Ukraine and go to Poland."
But, Rudik said she does not understand what NATO's end game is or its lack of action, and insisted that her country needs air support "to be able to shoot the missiles that are coming into our homes, stop them from coming. Otherwise, Russia will just simply destroy our cities and all the people of Ukraine will be fleeing to Europe," Rudik added. "This is already a huge humanitarian catastrophe and it will continue … the NATO members who are denying us the no-fly zone, I haven't seen them creating some plan or explaining what's going or what's going to happen."
The Russian military has also changed its tactics, said Rudik, as it is using airstrikes to "bombard cities to the ground" before seizing them.
"That is what we're expecting here in Kyiv," said Rudik. "That's why we've intensified sending people out to the West, and it's why we are working together with the local governments to make sure that people are getting out so the city can sustain a siege."
The trains are still running out of Kyiv, Rudik added, and "this is what we are doing, making sure that every single person who wants to get out is able to do so."
She said she and her team are staying, but many in Kyiv will need to decide on whether to stay or go, if they are able to leave the city.www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/kyiv-nato-kira-rudik-parliament/2022/03/11/id/1060732/

but the growing "humanitarian catastrophe" in the nation's cities is a "real genocide" that points to the need for help fighting Russia in the skies as well as on the ground, Alexey Goncharenko, a member of Ukraine's Parliament, said on Newsmax Friday. "We will not lose," Goncharenko insisted to Newsmax's "Wake Up America" during an interview from his office in Kyiv. "There is fighting, 20 kilometers from the border of the city, in satellite towns. Russians try to encircle Kyiv, but they don't have any successes. Our army is holding the ground, and they have very big losses, I mean the Russian forces."
He added that the situation is dire for civilians in Ukraine's cities, where people have been without water, heat or electricity for 10-12 days, and are coming under Russian fire when they are trying to evacuate. "The occupants are just shooting at civilians," said Goncharenko.
Ukraine's territorial defense is ready to defend Kyiv, he insisted, so Russia has "no chances" to take the capital city.
"First of all, in Mariupol, which is a big city, a half-million people in the south and eastern part of Ukraine, is blocked now by Russians and people are trapped there," said Goncharenko. "The Russians, they're using civilians like hostages. They do not allow people to leave, and they're bombing civilian residences and even maternity hospitals, children's hospitals."
And, he said, "that's why we're so desperately in need of help by the West to fight with the Russians in the air. On the land, we're holding the ground but in the air they are dominating and they're using aircraft and missiles to attack."
He added that he can't understand why Ukraine can't get Poland's fighter jets, or why NATO can send Stinger and Javelin missiles that can take out tanks but not aircraft. "That's the same weapons and it's something even for humanitarian reasons, because they are bombing from the air, just civilians," Goncharenko said.

Critics in the West are right to label Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal for bombing civilian targets, including a children's and maternity hospital just this week, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley tells Newsmax. But even worse is that the U.S. is trusting that same "war criminal" to negotiate the Iran nuclear deal, she said. "I mean, he's an absolute war criminal," Haley said Thursday on "Spicer & Co.", adding, "Forget the United Nations. We don't even have the luxury of that. What about this administration? What about America? Where are we? I mean, keep in mind that same war criminal that you are complaining about is the same war criminal that America is trusting to negotiate with terrorists with the Iran deal."
Russia is part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) talks in Vienna, along with the United States, Europe, China and Iran.
"It is the most unthinkable act I can think of," Haley told Newsmax host Sean Spicer. "It's absolutely a fireable offense that we would be counting on Russia to negotiate for us to get into a deal where we give money to terrorists that are going to continue to say, 'death to America.' T hat's the bigger problem."
The U.N. is one issue, the former Trump administration official said, but warned that the United States can't handle another three years of President Joe Biden in the White House.
"We can't take three more years of the fact that [Ukrainian] President Zelenskyy is begging America," she said. "That America has always stood for freedom, stood for democracy. Zelenskyy is begging for planes, and Biden's running scared because he's worried that will make Putin mad. It's really infuriating, and it's embarrassing."

Ruben Enikolopov, an economist and rector of Moscow’s New Economics School.:
“The first reaction for many of them — because they grew up in the Soviet Union, so that’s the mentality they have — is price controls and things like that. They might work temporarily, but in the long-run it’s a disaster for the economy.” Mario Bikarski, an analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit: “But what they’ve implemented so far are things like tax breaks, credit holidays, and some financial support to large businesses. This will not be sufficient at all.”
