Fleeing shelling, hundreds of civilians on Saturday streamed out of the southern Ukrainian city whose recapture they had celebrated just weeks earlier.

Days of intensive shelling by Russian forces prompted a bittersweet exodus: Many civilians were happy that their city had been won back but lamented that they couldn't stay."It is sad that we are leaving our home," said Yevhen Yankov, as a van he was in inched forward. Russia has ratcheted up its attacks on critical infrastructure after suffering battlefield setbacks. A prominent Russian nationalist said Saturday that the Russian military doesn't have enough doctors, in a rare public admission of problems within the military.
The prime ministers of Belgium, Poland and Lithuania, as well as the president of Hungary, were on hand, and many others participated by video. Zelenskyy said more than 20 countries supported the summit. "That is why we cannot tolerate what we are witnessing: The worst global food crisis in years with abhorrent consequences for millions of people — from Afghanistan to Madagascar, from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa."
