Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia of “resorting to the missile terrorism tactics in order to spread fear across Ukraine" as air raid sirens sounded in cities across the country.

Meanwhile, fresh attempts to evacuate civilians from Mariupol were underway on Wednesday, the day after more than 100 arrived to Ukrainian-held territory and relative safety.

The European Commission has proposed a new raft of sanctions against Moscow, including a ban on Russian oil imports.
