Ukraine remains awaiting tougher sanctions from the United States, the European Union and other allied countries against Russia for crimes committed against civilians since the start of the invasion on 24 February.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Kiev on Saturday to demonstrate British “solidarity” with Ukraine. The Ukrainian embassy in the United Kingdom released an image of the premier with President Volodymyr Zelensky, with both leaders sitting face to face in an office, next to the flags of both countries with a message: “Surprise”.
Ukraine called on civilians in eastern Luhansk to flee Russian bombings, after authorities said that more than 50 civilians attempting to evacuate by rail from a neighbouring region were killed in a missile attack on Friday.
According to figures released by the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, there are already 4,441,663 Ukrainian refugees have fled the country since Russia began the attacks.
Here is the minute by minute of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine(Ukraine time, GMT +3):
Sunday, April 10:
4:00: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confessed that the Atlantic Alliance is considering deploying a permanent military presence in Eastern Europe to repel a possible Russian invasion.
“Regardless of when, how the war in Ukraine ends, the war has already had long-term consequences for our security. NATO needs to adapt to this new reality. And that is exactly what we are doing,” Stoltenberg explained in an interview with the British newspaper ‘The Telegraph’.
The Atlantic Alliance, as its secretary general assured, is “in the midst of a very fundamental transformation” that will make decisions on a permanent deployment at the NATO summit to be held in Madrid in June.
3:00: The Ukrainian Central Bank (NBU) this weekend will freeze the exchange rate of the country’s currency, the hryvnia, against the US dollar until the end of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This was announced by the deputy director of the NBU, Sergei Nikolaichuk, in an interview with the Ukrainian media ‘Economic Truth’, where he explained that an exchange rate of 29.25 hryvnias per dollar (0.94 euros) will remain fixed
“After our victory, we will gradually return to the usual regime of a free exchange rate and gradually lift the restrictions,” said Nikolaichuk, who also announced a cash withdrawal limit of 100,000 hryvnias per day (just over 3,000 euros per day).
2:00: The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, again called on Western countries to ban the introduction of “more painful restrictions” to Russian oil and gas, arguing that they are a direct flow of money for Russia.
“The democratic world can definitely abandon Russian oil and make it toxic to all other states. Oil is one of the two sources of trust among Russians (…) Another source, gas, will also be shut down over time,” said the Ukrainian president in a message to the citizens of the country.
Zelensky assured that Ukraine and freedom “do not have time to wait” and called on the allies to act “immediately”. “When tyranny launches aggression against everything that keeps peace in Europe, action must be taken immediately,” he explained.
1:05: Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Irina Vereshchuk, reported that 4,532 people were evacuated in the last 24 hours by humanitarian corridors from different parts of the country.
Specifically, 3,425 people have arrived in the city of Zaporizhzhia, under Ukrainian control, by their own means of transport. Of these, 192 come from the besieged city of Mariupol, and 3,233 are residents of cities in the Zaporizhzhia region such as Berdyansk, Melitopol, Vasilivka or Pologi.
In addition, ten humanitarian corridors were set up during the last day, which managed to evacuate 529 residents of Melitopol, and 578 from various cities in the Lugansk region, eastern Ukraine, such as Lisichansk, Sievierodonetsk, Mezhove or Popasna.
Vereshchuk assured that Russian troops would have blocked several buses that should have carried out evacuation tasks in the cities of Berdyansk, Tokmak, Energodar, all of the Zaporizhzhia region. Even so, the Ukrainian deputy prime minister has assured that evacuations would be attempted again this Sunday.
0:30 The Ukrainian Government reported that more than 15,000 people are missing and that more than twenty hospitals have been destroyed since the beginning of the Russian invasion of the country.
The number of missing persons was announced by the Ombudsman, Ludmila Denisova, in comments collected by Ukrinform. “We have counted more than 15,000 cases with identified names and the last place they were seen,” he said.
The Minister of Health, Viktor Liashko, also reported that Russian attacks have destroyed 307 medical centers and destroyed 21 hospitals since the beginning of the invasion, on February 24. “These hospitals cannot be rebuilt and new ones will have to be built in their place,” he said in comments also collected by Ukrinform.
The minister stressed the need to deploy more field hospitals in the western regions, since in the eastern combat zone injured people can only receive first aid before being evacuated, so many do not survive the transfer.
