Russia-Ukraine updates: Putin says 'certain positive movements' in negotiations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that a child has died from dehydration in the besieged port city of Mariupol.

"Russia is for sure to blame for the deaths of people from airstrikes and in the blocked cities," Zelenskyy said in a televised address. "But the responsibility is also on those who during these 13 days can't make a decision in their offices in the West, an obviously necessary decision. Those who don't secure Ukrainian sky from Russian murderers, who didn't save our cities from airstrikes, these bombs and missiles, although they can."

"We have been hearing promises about support for 13 days that the jets are about to arrive," he added. "We have heard promises about securing humanitarian corridors. They didn't work. We don't have time to wait. People in Mariupol don't have time to wait."

Zelenskyy said trucks carrying humanitarian aid have been sent to Mariupol. He accused the International Committee of the Red Cross of "forbidding the use of its emblem on our cars," but did not give further details. Videos posted to social media on Tuesday purportedly show vehicles heading to Mariupol from other Ukrainian cities bearing signs with a red cross, but it's not clear who pasted them there.

"The drivers are heroes who understand they can be killed by Russian troops," Zelenskyy said. "If you kill those people, the whole world will be the witness."

Out of the more than 2 million people who have been forced to flee Ukraine since Russian forces invaded on Feb. 24, half of them are children, according to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF).

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder called it a "dark historical first."

Energy giant Shell announced Tuesday plans to withdraw from its involvement in all Russian hydrocarbons, including crude oil and natural gas, amid Russia's unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

"As an immediate first step, the company will stop all spot purchases of Russian crude oil. It will also shut its service stations, aviation fuels and lubricants operations in Russia," Shell said in a statement.

Shell will immediately stop buying Russian crude oil on the spot market and not renew term contracts. The company will also change its crude oil supply chain to remove Russian volumes, but said "this could take weeks to complete and will lead to reduced throughput at some of our refineries."

In addition, Shell will shut its service stations, aviation fuels and lubricants operations in Russia, and will start a phased withdrawal from Russian petroleum products, pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas.

The company apologized for buying Russian oil last week.

"We are acutely aware that our decision last week to purchase a cargo of Russian crude oil to be refined into products like petrol and diesel -- despite being made with security of supplies at the forefront of our thinking -- was not the right one and we are sorry," Shell CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement. "As we have already said, we will commit profits from the limited, remaining amounts of Russian oil we will process to a dedicated fund. We will work with aid partners and humanitarian agencies over the coming days and weeks to determine where the monies from this fund are best placed to alleviate the terrible consequences that this war is having on the people of Ukraine."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba took to Twitter to praise Shell "for taking this moral and responsible step," and he encouraged "other world businesses to follow suit."

At least 21 civilians, including two children, were killed by a Russian airstrike in Ukraine's northeastern city of Sumy on Monday night, according to the regional prosecutor's office.

The strike hit a residential area of Sumy, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, which the regional prosecutor's office said was still on the scene searching for victims Tuesday.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk called on Russian forces to maintain the agreed upon temporary cease-fire in Sumy and four other Ukrainian cities to allow civilians to evacuate Tuesday. She said Russian authorities have confirmed to the International Committee of the Red Cross that one evacuation route out of Sumy will be open, but Ukrainian officials are awaiting confirmation on the other routes they submitted.
