Civilian evacuation from Mariupol.<\/strong> In the past two days, Ukraine evacuated more than one hundred women, children, and seniors from Azovstal steel works, Vice Prime Minister \u2013 Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A humanitarian operation continues in Mariupol as hundreds of civilians remain trapped inside the Azovstal with the Ukrainian troops, Vereshchuk said on Telegram. A humanitarian crisis is unfolding, she added, as people are running out of water, food, and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 27, Ukrainian President Zelenskyi met with the UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres. They agreed on a joint humanitarian effort by Ukraine, the UN, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Vice Prime Minister said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 2, evacuation of civilians from Mariupol ran in parallel. Advisor to Mariupol\u2019s mayor Petro Andryushchenko told Radio Liberty: \u201cThe buses began to leave Mariupol. According to the preliminary agreement, buses will pick up people in the village of Mangush and Berdyansk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople can also join the convoy in their own vehicles. We hope that thousands of Mariupol citizens stuck on the way from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia (as Russian forces did not let them out), will get to Zaporizhzhia tonight or tomorrow morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of May 2, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration Oleksandr Starukh said the arrival of the convoy to Zaporizhzhia is delayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Russia struck Azovstal with various weapons, Azov regiment told Ukrainska Pravda, and Telegram channel Mariupol Now reported. The bombardment caused a massive fire visible from all around the city. The service members are alive. Russia used artillery and aircraft against them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s missile strike on Odesa leaves one child dead, another one wounded.<\/strong> Russia\u2019s missile strike on Odesa left one child dead, and another one wounded. The attack damaged a religious site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, a missile strike hit a residential building in Odesa. There were five people inside the building,\u201d head of the press service of the Operational Command South (Pivden) Natalia Humenyuk said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA 15-year-old child was killed, and another minor was taken to hospital. She gets medical help. Psychologists of the State Emergency Service work with the rest of the people who stayed inside the building,\u201d Humenyuk added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire burns in a building after the missile strike. The attack also damaged a religious site near the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia poised to announce general mobilization on May 9, Ukraine\u2019s intelligence says. <\/strong>\u201cRussia already resorts to hidden mobilization and readies to openly announce total mobilization in the near time,\u201d head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Defense Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview with Novoe Vremya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answering a question on whether Russia plans to announce a full mobilization on May 9, Budanov said: \u201cYes, they get ready [to do so].\u201d \u201cRosreserve began to verify what they have and to calculate how many people they can mobilize through mobilization orders. That is a necessary step before the actual mobilization,\u201d Budanov explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answering a question on whether the Kremlin plans to win in Donbas by May 9, the head of Ukraine\u2019s military intelligence said: \u201cThat is their goal, but it will not happen, they do not have time. They will not manage to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine in Flames #52: How the Kherson region withstands Russian occupation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia wants to establish long-term control over the Kherson region to have more security in Crimea. Today the occupiers have introduced the rouble; yesterday they turned off mobile communications. The Kremlin continues to use the traditional tool against dissenters – repressions and torture. Nevertheless, Kherson residents continue to protest against the Russian occupiers and are trying to peacefully undermine the occupiers’ plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 27, another pro-Ukrainian protest took place in Kherson. The Russians used light and noise grenades against peaceful Ukrainian protesters – 4 Ukrainians were wounded. On April 29, Russia abandoned the idea to \u200b\u200bhold a quick referendum on the establishment of the Kherson People’s Republic. The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that it was the Ukrainian resistance that could have potentially disrupted the referendum and all the occupiers’ plans to create the KhPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Ukraine in Flames #52 tells stories of popular resistance against the Russian occupation forces in the Kherson region. We stand with unconquered Kherson residents as they defend their freedom \u200b\u200band Ukrainian sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
