Escape point bombed near Kyiv

International media were filming at the site when what seemed to have been an artillery missile, CNN reports.

At that time a succession of civilians was passing through the checkpoint.

There are no immediate details of victims.

Ukrainian officials said yesterday that air strikes prevented residents from leaving before the agreed evacuations began. Putin accused Ukraine of sabotaged ceasefire efforts.

A third round of talks between Russia and Ukraine will take place on Monday, according to Davyd Arakhamia, a member of the Ukrainian delegation. He gave no additional details, including where they will be developed.

Previous meetings were held in Belarus and led to the failed ceasefire agreement to create humanitarian corridors for evacuation of children, women and elderly people from surrounding cities, where hundreds of thousands face food and water shortages.
