Russia-Ukraine War: Moscow's forces besieged two strategic Ukrainian seaports, Mariupol and Kherson. Bombardment of Kharkiv continues, explosions in Kyiv. 1 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's attack began, swiftest exodus this century.
In a videotaped address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Ukrainians to keep up the resistance. He vowed that the invaders would have “not one quiet moment” and described Russian soldiers as “confused children who have been used.”to demand it withdraw from Ukraine. And the prosecutor for the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into possible war crimes.
Ukraine’s military said Russian forces “did not achieve the main goal of capturing Mariupol” in its statement, which did not mention Kherson. “We don’t have any Ukrainian forces in the city, only civilians and people here who want to LIVE,” he said in a statement later posted on Facebook. He said the fighting is taking a toll on the morale of Russian soldiers, who “go into grocery stores and try to find something to eat.”Meanwhile, the senior U.S. defense official said an immense Russian column of hundreds of tanks and other vehicles appeared to be stalled roughly 25 kilometers from Kyiv and had made no real progress in the last couple of days.
Around Ukraine, others crowded into train stations, carrying children wrapped in blankets and dragging wheeled suitcases into new lives as refugees.
