Emergency relief and evacuation convoys for the besieged city of Mariupol remain in doubt after reports of Russian interference, while Moscow officials accused Ukraine of flying helicopter gunships across the border and striking an oil depot.

The governor of Russia’s Belgorod region said the alleged air strike caused multiple fires and two people were injured.
