    An adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriuschenko, has dismissed Russian reports of more than 1,000 marines surrendering in the besieged port city of Mariupol.

    Ukraine still holds several areas of the city, Andriuschenko told the BBC, dismissing Russia’s statements as “impossible”.

    Andriuschenko said:


    They don’t control our harbour, they don’t control Azovstal [iron and steel works].

    It is not currently possible to verify his comments as the full picture of what is going on in Mariupol is still unclear.

    Summary

    It is just past 6.30pm in Kyiv. Here’s a quick roundup of what’s been happening so far:

    • More than 1,000 Ukrainian marines defending the besieged port city of Mariupol have surrendered, Moscow has claimed. In one of the most critical battles of the war, Russia’s defence ministry said on Wednesday 1,026 soldiers from Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, including 162 officers, had “voluntarily laid down their arms” near the city’s Ilyich iron and steelworks. There was no independent confirmation of the claim.
    • The presidents of four countries bordering Russia – Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia – have travelled to Kyiv in a show of support for their Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and his embattled troops. It follows Kyiv’s reported refusal to meet the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who visited Poland on Tuesday and said he had planned to go on to Ukraine but “was not wanted”. The former German foreign minister is facing heavy criticism for his past policy of rapprochement towards Moscow.
    • Zelenskiy told Estonian MPs, without providing evidence, that Russia was using phosphorus bombs in Ukraine. Ukrainian forces in Mariupol said a drone had dropped a poisonous substance on the city, but there has been no independent confirmation that Russia used banned chemical weapons.
    • Zelenskiy warned that the war will become an “endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction” without additional weaponry. Speaking in English in a video published on Twitter, Zelenskiy said: “Freedom must be armed better than tyranny. Western countries have everything to make it happen.”
    • The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has declined to repeat Joe Biden’s accusation that Russia was carrying out “genocide” against Ukrainians, warning that verbal escalations would not help end the war. The US president said on Tuesday it had “become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being able to be a Ukrainian”. In response, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described Biden’s comments as “unacceptable”.
    • The UK government has imposed sanctions on another 206 individuals in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, including 178 people it said were involved in propping up the self-proclaimed republics in Luhansk and Donetsk. Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, said the latest sanctions were imposed in a direct response to the “horrific rocket attacks” on a train station in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, that killed dozens of civilians.

    Jersey has frozen more than $7bn (£5.4bn) of assets linked to the sanctioned Russian oligarch and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich, Rupert Neate and Pjotr Sauer report.

    The Royal Court of Jersey announced on Wednesday that it had imposed “a formal freezing order” on “assets understood to be valued in excess of US$7bn which are suspected to be connected to Mr Abramovich and which are either located in Jersey or owned by Jersey incorporated entities”.

    The government of Jersey, a self-governing British crown dependency favoured by the world’s wealthy for its very low taxes and reputation for strict banking secrecy, said the local police had raided several properties linked to Abramovich.

    The island’s Law Officers’ Department said in a statement:


    Search warrants were executed by the States of Jersey police on Tuesday 12 April 2022 at premises in Jersey suspected to be connected to the business activities of Roman Abramovich.

    The Guardian last week revealed that a 50-metre superyacht linked to Abramovich had been transferred to a Jersey company on the day of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

    The department would not comment on the yacht, and said it would not be providing any further details. A spokesperson for Abramovich did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    The yacht, Aquamarine, is the fifth vessel to have been linked to Abramovich. On 24 February, ownership of the yacht passed from a company previously controlled by Abramovich to a close associate of his, the Russian businessman David Davidovich.

    The BBC has warned that a video carrying its branding which claims that a missile attack on a railway station that killed dozens was carried out by Ukraine is fake.

    The video, mocked up with a BBC News logo and using a similar graphics style to the broadcaster, gives the false impression that the BBC has confirmed that Ukrainian armed forces were behind the recent attack on the Kramatorsk railway station.

    BBC News Press Team
    (@BBCNewsPR)

    We are aware of a fake video with BBC News branding suggesting Ukraine was responsible for last week’s missile attack on Kramatorsk train station. The BBC is taking action to have the video removed. We urge people not to share it and to check stories on the BBC News website.


    April 13, 2022

    The clip has been aired on Russian state television and spread across social media, and appears to have originated among pro-Kremlin accounts on the social media app Telegram, the BBC said.

    No such video has been produced by the BBC, it said, adding that it has not yet been possible to verify the source of the missile.

    The BBC press office said:

    Zelenskiy: War will become ‘endless bloodbath’ without more weapons

    The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has released a new video in which he warns that the war will become an “endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction” without additional weaponry.

    Speaking in English, Zelenskiy says Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia “much longer than the invaders planned”.

    But Russia still has the capacity to attack “not only against Ukraine”, Zelenskiy continues:


    Poland, Moldova, Romania, and the Baltic states will become the next targets if the freedom of Ukraine falls.

    More weapons were needed to “save millions of Ukrainians as well as millions of Europeans”, he says:


    We need heavy artillery, armoured vehicles, air defence systems and combat aircraft.

    Zelenskiy concludes the video by saying:


    Freedom must be armed better than tyranny.

    Western countries have everything to make it happen. The final victory over the tyranny and the number of people saved depends on them.

    Internationally appointed human rights monitors have found “clear patterns” of violations of international humanitarian law by “Russian forces in their conduct of hostilities” in a preliminary assessment of the conduct of the seven-week-long war in Ukraine.

    The three experts, appointed by the 57-country OSCE, whose members cover Europe, North America and central Asia, said that had Russia respected humanitarian law and avoided shelling hospitals and other protected infrastructure then “the number of civilians killed or injured would have remained much lower”.

    “Considerably fewer houses, hospitals, cultural properties, schools, multi-storey residential buildings, water stations and electricity systems would have been damaged or destroyed,” the monitors continue in a report released by the OSCE on Wednesday.

    But it also found human rights “violations and problems” attributable to Ukraine, in particular “the treatment of prisoners of war, who originally were considered criminals” after video emerged that appeared to show Russian soldiers being shot in the leg by their captors.

    The UN office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has so far formally recorded 4,450 civilian casualties in Ukraine since the war began, of which have been 1,892 killed and 2,558 injured. But the figure is almost certainly an underestimate due to the difficulties of accurate documentation while fighting is ongoing.

    Ukraine was one of 45 OSCE countries that agreed to appoint the monitors, but Russia did not cooperate, meaning that the monitoring group had to rely on Russian public statements, where available, for its perspective on alleged human rights violations.

    Focused call with Liz Truss. Grateful to the UK for its leadership in increasing sanctions pressure on Russia. Underscored the importance of speeding up arms deliveries to Ukraine. Discussed further steps to hold Russia accountable for its crimes.

    While Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was addressing the parliament in Estonia, and Estonia’s president Alar Karis was heading to Kyiv, there was a dramatic protest outside the Russian Embassy in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, against the rape and abuse of women and children in Ukraine by Russian forces.

    A group of women surrounded the Russian embassy on Pikk tänav with their hands tied behind their backs, bags over their heads, and fake blood applied on their underwear and down their legs.

    Demonstrations against Russian aggression in Ukraine continued for the third day in front of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn on Wednesday. This time, a few dozen women gathered in front of the embassy building on Pikk tänav to draw attention to Russian soldiers’ abuses of women and children in Ukraine.

    The protesters’ statement was reported by Estonia’s ERR public broadcasting channel as saying:


    Russian soldiers are raping and murdering innocent women and children in Ukraine. People who support this war also support war crimes, jarring murders to which they are accomplices. That is our message to the supporters of the Putin regime in Russia, Estonia and everywhere.

    Here is Jon Henley’s round-up of the latest reports from the war on Ukraine:

    More than 1,000 Ukrainian marines defending the besieged port city of Mariupol have surrendered, Moscow has said, as the presidents of four countries bordering Russia head to Kyiv in a show of support for Ukraine.

    In one of the most critical battles of the war, Russia’s defence ministry said on Wednesday 1,026 soldiers from Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, including 162 officers, had “voluntarily laid down their arms” near the city’s Ilyich iron and steelworks. There was no independent confirmation of the claim.

    The city, the main target yet to be brought under Russian control in the eastern Donbas region, has been encircled and largely reduced to rubble during Moscow’s seven-week invasion. The city’s mayor has said 21,000 civilians have died.

    Its capture would mark the first fall of a major Ukrainian city and would help Russia secure a land passage between the self-proclaimed republics in Donetsk and Luhansk in Donbas and Crimea, which Moscow occupied and annexed in 2014.

    Russia has responded to Joe Biden’s comments about genocide. The US president said his Russian counterpart “is trying to wipe out the idea of being able to be Ukrainian”.

    Reuters reports Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on a conference call with reporters:


    We consider this kind of effort to distort the situation unacceptable. This is hardly acceptable from a president of the United States, a country that has committed well-known crimes in recent times.

    Russia will view US and Nato vehicles transporting weapons on Ukrainian territory as “legal military targets”, the Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said, Reuters reports.

    Speaking in an interview with the Russian state-owned news agency Tass, Ryabkov said:


    We are warning that US-Nato weapons transports across Ukrainian territory will be considered by us as legal military targets.

    We are making the Americans and other westerners understand that attempts to slow down our special operation, to inflict maximum damage on Russian contingents and formations of the DPR and LPR (Donetsk and Luhansk People’s republics) will be harshly suppressed.

    Joe Biden has upped the ante in his criticisms of Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine by accusing him of genocide, saying the Russian leader is “trying to wipe out the idea of even being Ukrainian”.

    But how significant is the allegation and how likely is Putin to face genocide charges?

    US President Joe Biden said Russia’s war in Ukraine amounted to a “genocide,” accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to “wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian.”

    Genocide is one of four crimes prosecuted by the international criminal court (ICC) and generally considered to be the most grave.

    The court defines it as being:


    Characterised by the specific intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group by killing its members or by other means: causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    The court, based in The Hague in the Netherlands, has been criticised over its limited number of successful prosecutions: 10, all for war crimes and/or crimes against humanity, with none for genocide. When the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced in February that he was opening a case into events in Ukraine, he said there was “a reasonable basis to believe that both alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed”.

    UK announces new sanctions on Russian oligarchs and other groups

    The UK is imposing sanctions on 178 individuals who are deemed to be “propping up the illegal breakaway regions” in eastern Ukraine, the British Foreign Office has said.

    In a statement today, the UK foreign secretary, Liz Truss, said:


    In the wake of horrific rocket attacks on civilians in eastern Ukraine, we are today sanctioning those who prop up the illegal breakaway regions and are complicit in atrocities against the Ukrainian people.

    We will continue to target all those who aid and abet Putin’s war.

    In total, the UK government announced new sanctions for 206 individuals, including 178 separatists, six oligarchs, their close associates and employees, and a further 22 individuals.

    Among those sanctioned are Sergei Kozlov, the self-styled chairman of the government of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic, and Alexander Ananchenko, whom the Foreign Office named as the self-professed prime minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic.

    Maria Lavrova, the wife of Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, is also among those subject to a travel ban and asset freeze.

    From tomorrow, the UK government is “banning the import of Russian iron and steel, as well as the export of quantum technologies and advanced materials that Putin sorely needs”, Truss said, adding:


    We will not rest in our mission to stop Putin’s war machine in its tracks.
