Ukrainian officials are attempting to resume the mass evacuation of civilians from Mariupol, after the mayor of the besieged city said more than 200 civilians — including about 20 children — remained trapped by Russian strikes in a shelter under a massive steel plant. In Odessa, a 14-year-old boy was killed in Russian missile strikes that also hit a strategically important bridge in the Black Sea port city. Elsewhere, Ukrainian officials said at least nine civilians were killed by Russian fire in the Donetsk region. The U.N. Human Rights Office said Monday the number of confirmed civilian deaths since the start of Russia’s invasion has topped 3,000 — though the real death toll is likely much higher.
