Second attempt to evacuate Mariupol – number of refugees is growing at the fastest rate since World War II

Dusseldorf Despite intensive mediation attempts by various countries over the weekend, Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities continue. Neither French President Emmanuel Macron, nor Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, nor Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet got through to Russian President Vladimir Putin with appeals for a ceasefire.

They all spoke with the Russian ruler in the last two days. In view of the continuing catastrophic situation, hundreds of thousands of people continue to flee the country. In view of this, the western allies are discussing further tightening the sanctions against Russia. The number of votes that also no longer want to import Russian oil to Europe and North America increased over the course of Sunday.
