Feb 14,2022 6:37 pm

Some 100 civilians were allowed out of the steel plant in the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol on Sunday. But they have yet to make it to Ukrainian-controlled areas.

EU remains divided over Russian energy

European Union energy ministers have failed to reach agreement on how - and When - to wean their countries off Russian oil and gas.

Russia cut gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland last week after the two EU member states refused to pay Moscow in roubles, as President Putin demanded.

EU payments to Russia amounting to millions of dollars A Day are used to finance The Invasion of Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky has often described it as " blood money".

Lavrov compared Zelensky to Hitler

Israel's Foreign Minister has denounced as " unforgivable" remarks by his Russian counterpart that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler " had Jewish blood".

" No war today is The Holocaust or is like The Holocaust . "

Most civilians have already abandoned Lysychansk, but during a particularly noisy burst of shelling, A Family of four walked along the pavement near The Hospital carrying fresh supplies of food to a nearby cellar.

" We have Nowhere Else to go. No relatives in other places. Besides, you need money To Live Somewhere Else and we would be broke within a month, " said Anastasia Leontiova, holding her four-year-old son's hand.

Seventeen civilians, including several children, were living in The Cellar of a large administrative building. Their water had just been cut, but they still had electricity.

One couple, Lubova Gubin, 69, and her husband Alexei, 73, sat on their beds in a tiny room, listening to The News on a radio and quietly arguing about what they should do.

" We'll Stay Here . We've had a long life, " said Alexei, firmly.

" Well, he decides, " said Lubova.
