May 02, 2022 07:28 AM IST Russia is not ready to relent just yet to the pressure from the West on ending the Ukraine war, and the latest remarks from the country’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov on Sunday made it clear. In a televised address on Sunday evening, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his meeting with Pelosi included discussions of defense supplies to Ukraine, financial support and sanctions against Russia. Russia is not looking to end its war in Ukraine by Victory Day on May 9, its foreign minister said, as the country looks set to mark the key anniversary under the cloud of a deadly conflict, AFP reported. But on Saturday, Ukrainian authorities admitted that the legendary pilot was a myth.

Some 100 civilians evacuated from the besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol were due to arrive in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia.

The latest: expected to arrive in Zaporizhzhia on Monday morning local time.

Kherson: In this Russian-occupied southern city, Moscow appears to have instituted an Internet blackout in a bid to consolidate political control. After weeks of failed efforts, officials are hopeful long-awaited evacuations will continue at a steel plant in Mariupol. Elsewhere in the east, front-line fighting continued as Russia sought more territory in Donbas. Progress is plodding, according to the Pentagon and Western military analysts. Residents described to The Post last month Russian troops’ “scorched earth” tactics that destroyed their homes. “We were able to slow down their speed a lot,” Arestovych said Saturday in a live-streamed interview. A Russian missile strike also hit an airport runway in Odessa on Saturday, according to city officials, rendering it unusable. “The world leaders are going to have to come together somehow and figure out a way to protect these seaways. Vehicles have “children” signs placed on the windshields and white ribbons tied to door handles — pleas for military forces not to open fire. The Russian-installed government there said Sunday that Kherson will start using the Russian ruble, which Western military analysts say signals Moscow’s intention to keep its hold on the city permanently. The agreement to allow civilians a United Nations-backed “safe passage” to leave the plant comes after weeks of sporadic negotiations.

The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has offered a new sense of the scale of Russian losses during the invasion of Ukraine.

"That is not the case. In a Facebook post, the office said: "The threat of missile strikes on military and civilian infrastructure from the territory of the republic of Belarus by the Russian enemy remains". - Russia's defence ministry said on Sunday it had struck at weapons supplied to Ukraine by the US and European countries and destroyed a runway at a military airfield near the Ukrainian city of Odesa. - Russian forces fired on the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol again on Sunday night, breaking a ceasefire that has allowed around 100 people to be evacuated. Ukraine's general staff has identified units from the armed forces of Belarus in the Ukrainian border regions of Volyn and Polissya, it said on social media. A plant official said Russian shelling had resumed as soon as the evacuation buses had left the plant on Sunday. Yair Lapid, the Israeli foreign minister, said the Russian ambassador to Israel would be summoned for a "tough talk" over the comments, which Lavrov made on Sunday in an interview with an Italian television network. Vyacheslav Gladkov said he "wanted to dispel apprehensions among inhabitants of the region that someone or something flew in from the territory of Ukraine". "For the first time, we had two days of a ceasefire on this territory, and we managed to take out more than 100 civilians - women, children," Zelensky said in a nightly video address. The strategically important bridge, which has already been targeted twice by Russian forces, provides the only road and rail link on Ukrainian territory to a large southern area of the Odesa region. The commission is expected to announce a sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia, inclusive of a ban on buying Russian oil. It is likely that more than a quarter of the Russian battalion tactical groups sent to the conflict have been rendered "combat ineffective", the MoD estimated in its daily update, though it did not elaborate more on this.
