As Ukraine starts its fourth day fending off Russian troops and munitions, a Kyiv official declared Sunday that the capital city was still in the hands of Ukrainians.
"The situation in Kyiv is calm, the capital is completely controlled by the Ukrainian army and defense," Mykola Povoroznyk, first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, said on messaging service Telegram. Early Sunday, street fighting began in Kharkiv as Russian troops enter country's second-largest city, according to a Ukrainian official.
The U.S., European Union, and United Kingdom on Saturday agreed to block “selected” Russian banks from the SWIFT global financial messaging system and to impose ”restrictive measures” on its central bank in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine. The measures were announced jointly as part of a new round of financial sanctions meant to impose a severe cost on Russia for the invasion.
Here's a look at the latest developments in the conflict over Ukraine and the security crisis in Eastern Europe.
