Friday's key points:
At least 50 civilians were evacuated from the steel plant in Mariupol, said Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk in a post on Telegram.
Members of the United Nations Security Council, including Russia, have agreed on a statement expressing “strong support” for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ efforts to find a peaceful solution to the “dispute” in Ukraine.
Amnesty International has investigated atrocities near Kyiv and accuses Russian forces of "extrajudicial executions", "torture" and "reckless shootings". The human rights group's report calls for all responsible, "including up the chain of command", to face justice.
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday the EU's proposed ban on Russian oil imports would amount to an "atomic bomb" dropped on the Hungarian economy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has invited German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to visit Ukraine on May 9, the day Russia marks the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in World War II.
The UN confirmed to Euronews that a "safe passage operation" was under way in Mariupol "in coordination with the parties to the conflict", to allow civilians to leave the steelworks besieged by Russian troops.
Ukraine's military said on Friday the Russian assault on the Azovstal plant was continuing "in some areas", along with the ongoing blockade.
President Zelenskyy has described a “catastrophic” lack of access to medical services and medicine in areas of the country under Russian occupation, in his nightly video address.
The European Union must not resume "business as usual" with Russia as long as he remains in power, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told Euronews in an exclusive interview.

Poland's PM on Ukraine war, 'imperial' Russia, and 'short-sighted' EU states
President Vladimir Putin is a "war criminal" who is committing "genocide" in Ukraine and the European Union must not resume "business as usual" with Russia as long as he remains in power, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told Euronews in an exclusive interview.
"This Russia is totalitarian, it's nationalistic, it's imperial, and this Russia wants to re-establish the Russian empire and a post-Soviet Union type of state," Morawiecki said.
"We cannot see a situation where there's a retreat to business as usual. Women and children are dying. Russia [commits] genocide in Ukraine and war crimes. Not with this regime," he added.
"Putin is a war criminal and what he's responsible for in Ukraine is simply beyond one's imagination. I think we should create an international tribunal to trace the crimes and make justice again when the war is over."
Morawiecki spoke with Euronews' Efi Koutsokosta at the end of an international donors' conference that he co-hosted with Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson in Warsaw.
The conference raised €6 billion to support ongoing humanitarian efforts across Ukraine.
"We gathered more than expected," Morawiecki said. "But this amount of money is not good enough, is not sufficient for the enormous needs in Ukraine, given the atrocious war that is going on and on."
During the interview, the Polish PM spoke at length about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which he described as "brutal," and the geopolitical implications for the entire continent.
Since the war broke out on 24 February, Poland has been at the forefront of the international condemnation against the Kremlin, calling for weapons deliveries and the harshest possible set of EU sanctions.
"I believe the war is going to be over sooner rather than later. But it all depends on the courage and determination of the Ukrainian nation. So we all should be grateful for the enormous bravery and courage and for what they're doing to defend their sovereignty and freedom," he said.
"We know they are defending, on the barricades, not only their freedom but also the security and peace of the whole Europe."
Morawiecki dismissed Russia's nuclear threats as a "sign of their weakness" and said the Kremlin will think "twice" before expanding the military aggression towards neighbouring countries like Moldova.
"But nobody knows because this is in the hand of the leaders of Kremlin," he conceded.
'Bigger countries wanted to procrastinate'
The prime minister spoke a day after the European Commission proposed a gradual EU-wide ban on Russian oil imports to deprive the Kremlin of one of its main sources of revenue.
The ban is seen as the EU's most radical move to date and has raised concerns among some highly dependent countries, including Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, who now demand a more protracted timeline to introduce the measure.
"Frankly speaking, there are different countries in different positions in terms of dependency on oil and gas, and we understand this," Morawiecki said when asked about the negotiations on the oil ban.
"There are discussions with the European Commission about what the interim periods could be. However, they are not going to block those sanctions, as far as I know."
The war has exposed the EU's entrenched dependency on Russian energy, built under the assumption that closer trade tries with Moscow would have brought the country closer to the West. The long-held belief crumbled overnight when Russian troops entered Ukraine and began bombing cities.
Last week, Russian energy company Gazprom informed Poland and Bulgaria that it would halt gas supplies to the two countries.
