     STALEMATE
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     Russian forces have not staged any large assaults this week, and have been
     digging in and reinforcing defensive positions, according to the latest
     assessment from the Institute for the Study of War.
     
     The think tank's assessment echoes what we heard from the American
     Department of Defense on Tuesday, which said that Russian troops remain
     bogged down by logistical difficulties.
     
     The Kremlin continues to downplay the effect of sanctions on the Russian
     economy, the think tank's authors state.
     
     Meanwhile, Russian shelling on civilian regions has continued and
     intensified.

     ZELENSKY: ABOUT 100,000 PEOPLE REMAIN IN MARIUPOL
     
     Ukrainian governmentCopyright: Ukrainian government
     
     Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky says about 100,000 people remain in
     the southern port city of Mariupol amid intense Russian bombardment.
     
     "As of today, there are about 100,000 people in the city. In inhumane
     conditions. In a complete blockade. No food, no water, no medicine. Under
     constant shelling, under constant bombing," he said in his nightly Facebook
     address.
     
     He added that efforts to rescue civilians there through humanitarian
     corridors have been interrupted by Russian "shelling or deliberate terror".
     
     One humanitarian column was captured by Russia on Tuesday, he said, adding
     that Ukrainian government workers and their bus driver had been taken
     prisoner.
     
     "Despite all the difficulties," he says, "7,026 Mariupol residents were
     rescued" from the city on Tuesday.
     
     Zelensky added that Ukraine has received over 100,000 tonnes in
     humanitarian aid in the past two weeks.
     
     He said new Western sanctions would be unveiled against Russia this week
     when world leaders attend a Nato conference in Brussels.
     
     Zelensky also said he had spoken to Pope Francis on Tuesday, and invited
     him to visit Ukraine.
     
     "I believe that we will be able to organise this important visit, which
     will unequivocally support each of us, each of the Ukrainians," he said.

     Ukrainian cities under Russian occupation continue to see civilian-led
     protests, according to the latest intelligence assessment from the UK
     Ministry of Defence.
     
     "Russian efforts to subdue the population by manipulating the media,
     spreading propaganda and installing puppet, pro-Kremlin, leaders have so
     far failed," the report says.
     
     It adds that Russia "will probably respond to these failure by increasingly
     violent and coercive measures" to suppress the Ukrainian people.

     Vladislav and Sofia - and their mother - have been offered a home in the UK

     Families in the UK desperate to give a home to Ukrainians in need have
     spoken of their frustration and sadness at a process they say is too slow
     and bureaucratic.
     
     One described "hours and hours and hours" of form filling, while a British
     businessman who is in Poland to bring a family back to England says it's
     taking a long time and must be quicker.
     
     There has been an enormous groundswell of support for hosting Ukrainian
     refugees in homes across the UK.
     
     In Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Rebecca Lewis is hoping to emulate her
     grandfather who helped families fleeing Germany in World War Two.
     
     She has helped to organise 30 homes for Ukrainian refugees, but so far they
     have received no refugees.
     
     Rebecca describes having to search on Facebook through heartbreaking posts
     of Ukrainian families pleading for help and homes.
     
     "Tidy with no bad habits," says one. Another says, "I have to leave the
     country because I have no other way to save my life", and "I can work and
     want to find a job after coming to you"

     NUCLEAR COMMENTS BY KREMLIN SPOKESMAN 'NOT A NEW THING'
     
     Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
     
     Comments made by Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a CNN interview on
     Tuesday - in which he did not rule out the potential use of Russian nuclear
     weapons - should not be interpreted as a change in the country's nuclear
     policy, experts say.
     
     As we reported earlier, Peskov said that nuclear weapons would only be used
     within the "concept of domestic security," and if Russia was facing an
     "existential threat". He pointed to the country's publicly available
     policy, outlining when nuclear weapons can be used.
     
     "This is a restatement of long-standing doctrine, not a new thing," tweeted
     Matt Tait, former principal security consultant for iSEC Partners and NGS
     Secure.
     
     "Don't get me wrong, they enjoy the US panicking about their nuclear
     weapons, but this is a statement divorced from a change of posture," he
     added.

     President Roberta Metsola in Berlin today
     
     German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said Europe's sanctions on Russia could
     be "not a short-term measure but a longer conflict".
     
     He emphasised the need for Germany to stop its dependency on Russian coal,
     gas and oil imports "as quickly as possible" and "in the greatest
     intensity" during a press conference in Berlin.
     
     "Europe, together with its friends, has launched the harshest sanctions
     ever seen against such a big country. And they show that they have an
     impact," he said.
     
     "A part of this is also thinking about tools that have this effect on the
     aggressor but at the same time have minimal repercussions on economic
     development opportunities at home and that we can uphold these sanctions."

     Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky will deliver a virtual address to the
     Nato summit of world leaders being held in Brussels on Thursday, according
     to the AFP news agency.
     
     "President Zelensky is invited to address the Nato summit via video link,"
     an unnamed Nato official told AFP.
     
     "This will be an opportunity for allied leaders to hear directly from
     President Zelensky about the dire situation facing the people of Ukraine
     because of Russia's aggression."
     
     A spokesman for Zelensky told Interfax Ukraine that the president would be
     appearing in video format at some point during the conference, but that the
     details are still being worked out.
     
     "Ukraine will take an active part in it... At the least, it will be the
     president's address. At most - full participation, of course, in video
     format."
     
     "The format of participation will be known in the coming days," spokesman
     Serhiy Nikiforov said on Tuesday.

     PUTIN AND MACRON 'CONTINUED ONGOING TALKS' - ELYSÉE
     
     Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
     
     The French government has confirmed that President Emmanuel Macron spoke to
     Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Tuesday.
     
     In a statement, the Elysée Palace said that the call continued Macron's
     previous conversations with Putin regarding a ceasefire and ongoing safety
     concerns.
     
     "There is currently no agreement but President Macron remains convinced of
     the need to continue his efforts. There is no other way out than a
     ceasefire and Russia's good faith negotiations with Ukraine," the statement
     said.
     
     It added that Macron "stands alongside Ukraine".
     
     In addition to Putin, Macron also spoke on Tuesday to German Chancellor
     Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi ahead of the summit in
     Brussels on Thursday.
     
     The call was held to discuss European energy needs in light of the war in
     Ukraine, as well as food security concerns.

     Hundreds of civilians, mostly women and children, went to hide in a theatre
     in the besieged city Mariupol - one of them, 27-year-old teacher Mariia
     Rodionova, has told the BBC of her survival after a bomb hit the building.
     
     Mariia had been living in this grand Soviet-era building near the
     waterfront for 10 days, having fled her 9th-floor apartment with her two
     dogs.
     
     Last Wednesday, a bomb hit and - within seconds - the building had been
     split in two and left in ruins.
     
     It is unclear how many people died, but Mariia says the blast was so loud
     that she thought her eardrum must have split.

     RUSSIA WOULD ONLY USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IF EXISTENTIAL THREAT - PESKOV
     
     ReutersCopyright: Reuters
     
     Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said Russia would only use nuclear
     weapons if the country faced an existential threat.
     
     Asked by CNN if President Putin would consider using nuclear weapons,
     Peskov said: "We have a concept of domestic security and it's public, you
     can read all the reasons for nuclear arms to be used.
     
     "So if it is an existential threat for our country, then it [the nuclear
     arsenal] can be used in accordance with our concept."
     
     Russian President Vladimir Putin said on 28 February, just days after
     Russia invaded Ukraine, that he was putting Russia's strategic nuclear
     forces on special alert.

     Two superyachts linked to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich have docked
     in Turkey, beyond the reach of UK and EU sanctions.
     
     Each of the vessels cost more than $500m (£377m) and are among a number
     tracked by Lloyd's List Intelligence.
     
     The shipping data experts have been monitoring on-board tracking devices
     and have shared this information exclusively with the BBC, enabling the
     journeys of these and other vessels linked to sanctioned Russians to be
     plotted.
     
     A boatload of young Ukrainians tried to stop the superyacht My Solaris
     docking in Bodrum in Turkey. The other Abramovich-linked yacht Eclipse
     sailed to Marmaris.
     
     Many superyachts are linked to Russian billionaires but ownership is
     shrouded in secrecy - boats are often registered through a series of
     offshore companies.

     BIDEN TO ANNOUNCE MORE SANCTIONS DURING EUROPE TRIP
     
     Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
     
     As we reported earlier, US President Joe Biden plans to announce a new
     sanctions package against Russia during his trip to Brussels and Warsaw
     this week.
     
     Biden will visit the Belgian capital, where Nato and the European Union
     have their headquarters, to hold talks with foreign leaders on Thursday. He
     will be accompanied by the US Secretary of Defence, General Lloyd Austin.
     
     He will then travel to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, on Friday.
     
     "He will have the opportunity to co-ordinate on the next phase of military
     assistance to Ukraine," Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser,
     told reporters.
     
     Biden, he added, "will join our partners in imposing further sanctions on
     Russia and tightening the existing sanctions to crack down on evasion and
     to ensure robust enforcement".
     
     Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Biden's top spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced that she
     would be forced to skip the European tour after testing positive for Covid.
     She said that she had held two socially distanced meetings with Biden on
     Monday, and that he had tested negative on Tuesday.

     MARIUPOL MAP SHOWS CITY SURROUNDED BY RUSSIAN FORCES
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     Russian forces initially made rapid gains in the south of Ukraine, with
     their main objective being the creation of a land corridor between Crimea,
     which it annexed in 2014, and areas held by Russian-backed separatists in
     Donetsk and Luhansk.
     
     Standing in the way of that objective is the port city of Mariupol, which
     has been encircled by Russian forces since the start of March. Ukrainian
     officials say some 300,000 civilians remain trapped in the city.

     Ukraine earlier renewed its appeal for humanitarian aid to be allowed into
     the besieged port city of Mariupol and for civilians to be allowed to
     leave.
     
     Residents of Mariupol, a key strategic target for Moscow, have endured
     weeks of Russian bombardment with no power or running water.
     
     Ukraine has previously accused Russian forces of bombing a theatre where
     civilians were sheltering in Mariupol.
     
     Speaking on Ukrainian television, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Iryna
     Vereshchuk, said: "We demand the opening of a humanitarian corridor for
     civilians."
     
     Vereshchuk also said Russia's armed forces were preventing humanitarian
     supplies reaching residents of the southern city of Kherson.
     
     Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilians since invading Ukraine.

     THE SMALL TOWN WHICH BLOCKED RUSSIA'S BIG PLANS

     Many people who have chosen to stay in Voznesensk are eager to talk about
     their remarkable victoryImage caption: Many people who have chosen to stay
     in Voznesensk are eager to talk about their remarkable victory
     
     A ferocious two-day struggle for control of the farming town of Voznesensk
     and its strategically important bridge was one of the most decisive battles
     of the war in Ukraine so far.
     
     Victory would have enabled Russian forces to sweep further west along the
     Black Sea coast towards the huge port of Odesa and a major nuclear power
     plant.
     
     Instead, Ukrainian troops, supported by an eclectic army of local
     volunteers, delivered a crushing blow to Russian plans, first by blowing up
     the bridge and then by driving the invading army back, up to 100km, to the
     east.
     
     "It's hard to explain how we did it. It's thanks to the fighting spirit of
     our local people and to the Ukrainian army", said Voznesensk's 32-year-old
     mayor, Yevheni Velichko.
     
     As on so many frontlines in Ukraine, British-supplied anti-tank missiles
     proved crucial in turning the tide against Russian armour in Voznesensk,
     leaving the town littered with up to 30 tanks, armoured cars and even a
     helicopter.
     
     "It's only thanks to these weapons that we were able to beat our enemy
     here", said Mr Velichko.

     HARD DAYS AHEAD IN UKRAINE - US
     
     ReutersCopyright: Reuters
     
     The US national security adviser Jake Sullivan has said there will be "hard
     days" ahead in Ukraine.
     
     Sullivan has been speaking to reporters at the White House ahead of
     President Joe Biden's trip to Brussels on Wednesday.
     
     The US and allies will roll out a further package of sanctions against
     Russia on Thursday when the president holds talks, Sullivan said.
     
     Sullivan also said that the US has not seen any evidence of China providing
     Russia with weapons.
     
     From Brussels, Biden will travel on to Warsaw in Poland, which borders
     Ukraine and is a Nato member.

     RUSSIAN SOLDIERS SUFFERING FROM FROSTBITE - US DEFENCE OFFICIAL

     Pro-Russian troops are seen on the outskirts of the besieged city of
     MariupolImage caption: Pro-Russian troops are seen on the outskirts of the
     besieged city of Mariupol
     
     Russian forces are continuing to face logistical problems such as a lack of
     correct equipment, which is leading to frostbite among soldiers, a US
     senior defence official has said.
     
     In a briefing, which the BBC has seen via our US partner CBS News, the US
     Department of Defense (DoD) official also said:
     
      * There are signs that Ukrainians are now able to take back some territory
        the Russians have taken, such as in Izyum and Kherson
      * The Russians are likely to pull battalion tactical groups deployed to
        other countries back to help in Ukraine
      * The DoD has seen clear evidence over the last week of Russians
        deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure
      * It also believes there also signs of on-the-ground behaviour that would
        likely constitute war crimes
      * Russia has likely been firing into the besieged south-eastern city
        Mariupol from the Sea of Azov

     It is 20:00 in Kyiv. Here are the main updates on day 27 of the war:
     
      * There is "nothing left" of Mariupol, Ukraine's President Volodymyr
        Zelensky has said, as Kyiv called on Moscow to allow civilians to
        evacuate the besieged southern port city
      * Elsewhere, Zelensky spoke to Pope Francis and suggested the Vatican
        could play a mediating role in ending the war
      * Russian naval forces have started shelling the outskirts of Odesa, as
        part of efforts to cut Ukrainians off from the Black Sea
      * A Russian billionaire sanctioned by the UK says he no longer owns many
        former properties, potentially putting them beyond the reach of the law
      * The mayor of Boryspil city near Kyiv has told residents to "leave town
        ASAP" as fighting against Russian forces draws closer
      * More than 15,000 Russian troops have been killed since the start of the
        war, Ukraine's Ministry of Defence has claimed - the BBC cannot verify
        this figure
      * US President Joe Biden has warned that Russian leader Vladimir Putin may
        be preparing to use chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine
