As per news report of NDTV, "The current (Ukrainian) authorities must understand that if they continue to do what they are doing, they are putting in question the future of Ukrainian statehood," Vladimir Putin said. "And if this happens, they will be fully responsible." The city council of Ukraine's Mariupol said an evacuation of some of 400,000 residents trapped by encircling Russian forces would start at 12 pm, local time (1000 GMT) on Sunday under a temporary ceasefire that will last till 9 pm. A similar plan had to be abandoned on Saturday after the ceasefire was not fully observed, with both sides trading blame. Ukraine today claimed more than 11,000 Russian troops have been killed since Vladimir Putin declared war on the eastern European country on February 24.
