Thursday 21 April 2022 – Ukrainian officials and satellite images point to evidence of mass graves outside the besieged city of Mariupol. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky likened the siege to a “terrorist operation.” Russian President Vladimir Putin proclaimed the effort by Russian forces to capture Mariupol a “success” but ordered troops to stop short of trying to storm the Azovstal steel plant, which is still held by Ukrainian forces. US President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine as the war enters what he called a “critical window.” Biden also announced a new program for Ukrainian refugees to enter the US on humanitarian grounds. Ukraine’s military intelligence released purported communications of Russian forces referring to an alleged order to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war in the city of Popasna in the eastern region of Luhansk, which is bearing the brunt of Russia’s renewed attack.
