Russian Forces Press Ahead in Ukraine

New York Times: “Across Ukraine, Russian forces are pressing ahead, laying siege to cities and trying to control vital ports, and Western officials said Moscow’s forces were targeting civilians and critical infrastructure. Russia’s continuing gains in the south could make it harder for Ukraine’s army to fight in other parts of the country.”

“Ukraine’s spirited defense has slowed the Russian advance, notably near Kyiv, the capital, where its forces have attacked a vast armored convoy bearing down on the city. But Russia is adding forces from the south and west in its efforts to take Kyiv, which the Ukrainian military said Friday remained a ‘key’ Russian objective.”

Axios: “Russia’s invasion could destroy Ukraine’s sovereignty or Vladimir Putin’s regime. The outlines of a solution that leaves both intact are murkier.”
