A planned evacuation of civilians from the city of Bucha in Kyiv Oblast on March 9 was canceled after Russian military blocked dozens of buses, officials said on Facebook. According to reports from the Bucha City Council, Russian forces attempted to disrupt the evacuation in Bucha on Wednesday morning, blocking about 50 buses, the council said. In an update, officials canceled the planned evacuation, saying it had “failed to negotiate” with the “occupants” and that evacuation was “impossible.” The council said evacuations were still ongoing from Worzel.
