Russia squeezes southern Ukraine amid warning 'worst is yet to come'
CNN
Residents of Mariupol were trapped without power, heating or water on Thursday as the key Ukrainian city came under siege by Russian forces determined to tighten their grip on Ukraine's south.
News of the deteriorating humanitarian situation came as France gave a chilling warning that the "worst is yet to come" for Ukraine, following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
Mariupol authorities warned of a "critical" situation for residents amid heavy shelling. It's not clear how many of Mariupol's roughly 400,000 inhabitants have been able to evacuate the strategically important port city or how many have been killed or injured.
