What happened in the war. The authorities of Mariupol and the Donetsk region reported that Russian aviation struck the territory of the city hospital No. 3. The video from the scene says that the blow came between children's and maternity departments; At the OpenStreetmap cartographic service, these buildings are designated as children's and gynecological departments. According to preliminary data, 17 people were injured.
On March 9, Mariupol authorities stated that about 1300 civilians died during the war in the city - despite the fact that on the UN data published on the same day we are talking about 516 who died throughout Ukraine, including territories under the control of separatists.
Humanitarian corridors. Judging by the reports of the Ukrainian media, a certain number of civilians managed to evacuate from several settlements, including Vorzel, Irpeni, Energodar and Izum. In other places, the Russians, according to the Ukrainian side, either blocked the entrance of buses, or continued the shelling of the corridor. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accuses Kiev of presenting “impossible requirements”, refusing to coordinate routes and shelling.
In the evening, the head of the parliamentary faction “Servant of the people” David Arahamia announced the evacuation of 40 thousand women and children per day “from all over Ukraine”, but what part of them were in the occupied settlements, it is unclear from his message.
The situation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. On March 8, the Magate reported that at the station since its capture by the Russian military, the same people have been working without a change. And the 9th Ukrenergo announced that the station was completely de-energized due to the accident on the power lines-and that the diesel generators of electricity will be enough at best for two days, and it is impossible to carry out repairs due to battles. Russia traditionally assigned responsibility for the incident on the "Ukrainian nationalists" who allegedly fired at the power lines. From the Russian Ministry of Defense, which is important in the statement, the station is claimed to be provided with electricity from Belarus.
Russian conscripts in the war. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation unexpectedly admitted that they were sent to Ukraine - presenting it as a mistake and a rare phenomenon: the representative of the department said that, “unfortunately, several facts were discovered” of their participation in the operation. Recall that the relatives of the soldiers spoke about this from the first day, but the authorities, including Vladimir Putin, were categorically denied (the Kremlin had already stated that the president ordered materials to send materials to the prosecutor’s office to the prosecutor's office).

Perhaps the recognition of the situation with conscripts could contribute to the publication of a video with prisoners of young military personnel who said that they were drafted into the Russian army only in the summer of 2021. On March 9, some of them appeared at a press conference in Kiev, where they accused the Russian leadership of lies and said that they did not want to return to Russia before a change of power (we cannot know if these statements were made voluntarily).
Situation in Russia. The Central Bank sharply limited the Russians the opportunity to remove the currency from their accounts - it will be possible to withdraw no more than 10 thousand dollars within six months (owners of accounts in different banks will be able to withdraw 10 thousand in each of them). Over this amount, Russians will be able to get only rubles. Russians will be able to buy currency only in non -cash. Details are in our cards .
It is also worth reading the analysis of the so -called pre -day credit rating of Russia. Spoiler: This is primarily about Russian obligations to foreign creditors who have bought federal loan bonds. If default (that is, Russia's non -payment of their obligations) will occur, Russian citizens will not suffer from it as in 1998 - although, probably, its consequences will probably feel indirectly.
