In Kyiv, the local authorities have
announced the city has enough food stored to last 2 weeks, in case the city is
besieged and the exits are blocked. The food is expected to feed an estimated 2
million people, with reports saying that at least half of the population of the
capital-city has fled the country. At least two people were killed and three
injured in shelling targeting a residential building in a Kyiv suburb on Monday
morning. According to CNN, fifteen people were rescued and 63 evacuated after a
shell hit the ninth floor of a residential building in the Obolon district, a
suburb of the capital Kyiv.


Also on Monday morning, the Antonov aircraft
manufacturing facility located in Sviatoshyn, about 10 km from the city center,
was the target of heavy artillery barrage, the BBC reports. Live footage on
social media showed heavy smoke rising from the factory. Emergency services are
at the scene of the explosion.


Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Economy Minister,
Denys Kudin, has announced the Russian invasion has caused damages worth 120
billion USD in Ukraine, an announced a full report detailing GDP losses will be
presented in April.


Commissioner Filippo Grandi with the
UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates over 2.5 million Ukrainians have fled the
country since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24. The UN official
spoke about this figure, describing the situation as the fasted growing
refugee crisis in Europe since WWII. According to the Russian state news
agency RIA Novosti, a land corridor has been established linking Crimea to
Donbas. According to the aforementioned source, the corridor would provide a
strategic route conneting Crimea to Mariupol, a city currently surrounded by
Russian forces. The information has not yet been verified by independent
sources.
