A fresh effort is underway to evacuate trapped civilians from the besieged city of Mariupol as Ukrainian forces brace for a renewed Russian offensive in the east.

Ukrainian officials said they’re sending a convoy of buses to evacuate people from Mariupol on Thursday after Russia said it was ready to observe a one-day ceasefire in the city, where tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped after weeks of heavy bombardment.
