Russian forces continued to shell the Ukrainian city of Mariupol on Saturday, despite agreeing to a ceasefire just hours earlier - throwing an attempted mass evacuation of civilians into chaos.

Yes, I have friends in Mariupol and Charkiv. They confirm :(

How do they communicate with you: cell phone, internet? It's surprising that Russia didn't cut the communications and power. Why have they not launched an EMP?

No idea why. Maybe they need the network too, I don't know. Or as it's not called a war by Russia, but helping fellow Ukrainians, Putin don't want to destroy everything citizens use. There was an outage of mobile network in Kharkiv for one day, however.

It's interesting that they want to portray it, not as a war, but as a way to help the citizens of Ukraine. I think the media is trying to convince other nations, including the USA, to also "help". It's ironic that the only way they can think of helping is through more military activity, more destruction and death.
