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

Vice President Kamala Harris announced Thursday that the U.S. will be giving $50 million in humanitarian assistance to the United Nations World Food Program.

Harris made the announcement during a joint press conference after she met with Poland's President Andrzej Duda.

USAID will deliver the funds to the WFP, which go toward providing emergency food aid, such as high-energy biscuits, to refugees and supporting the WFP's operations to get aid into Ukraine, according to a release from USAID.

Including the aid money announced Thursday, the U.S. has provided $107 million in humanitarian aid since Russia's war against Ukraine started, according to USAID.

In the press conference, Harris and Duda spoke about the unified partnership between the U.S. and Poland on the war in Ukraine.

"We will do everything together in partnership, in solidarity, to support what is necessary this very moment in terms of the humanitarian and security needs of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people," Harris said.

Harris and Duda also condemned the Russian attack on a maternity hospital which killed 3 people and wounded 17, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"We have been witnessing for weeks, and certainly just in the last 24 hours, atrocities of unimaginable proportions,” Harris said.

Duda went as far as saying if hospitals and residential buildings are bombed where there are no military installations, "this is an act of barbarity baring the features of a genocide."

“We cannot accept such military activities that bare the characteristics of genocide," Duda said.

Harris also announced that the U.S. has delivered Patriot missile systems to Poland, which it had promised earlier this week, and noted the recent deployment of 4,700 U.S. troops to Poland.

At least 549 civilians, including 41 children, have been killed in Ukraine since Russian forces invaded on Feb. 24, according to the latest figures from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

Meanwhile, at least 957 civilians, including 52 children, have been injured, OHCHR figures show.

The tallies are civilian casualties that occurred in Ukraine from Feb. 24 to March 9 and have been verified by OHCHR, which cautioned that "actual figures are much higher."

Samaritan’s Purse opened an outpatient clinic just outside the train station in Lviv on Thursday and has already treated its first patients.

Some people have evacuated so quickly they left their homes without their medicine -- and by the time they made it to Lviv they were in desperate need, Mark Agness, an emergency room doctor from California, told ABC News. Pregnant women and newborns are also common.

"That’s why we do this … it’s really the parable of the Good Samaritan. Help thy neighbor -- well they’re my neighbor," said Agness.

Chelsea Musick, a nurse from Iowa, has been with the organization for years and said working in Ukraine is different. Unlike other humanitarian disasters, this was entirely man made, she said. She described the patients she’s seeing as having a "haunted" look in their eyes.

Samaritan’s Purse is also building a large field hospital, which they expect to be operational by the weekend, in the parking garage of a local mall, a few minutes away from the train station. The hospital will have enough room for 15 surgeries a day and will be able to increase beds as needed.

The operation is primarily funded by individual donors from the U.S., the organization said. Two airlifts of supplies have already been coordinated from the U.S.
