Ukraine live updates: Russia strikes key cities; Biden says Moscow ‘more isolated’ than ever
MUKACHEVO, Ukraine — Russia continued its assault on Ukrainian cities overnight, with significant attacks on the capital, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Chernihiv in the northeast, and the southeastern port of Mariupol, according to assessments by the British Ministry of Defense.
Russian troops continued to meet staunch resistance from Ukrainian military and civilian fighters, which, along with ongoing logistical struggles, limited their gains over the previous 24 hours. Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, endured another night of airstrikes, with social media videos, which could not be immediately verified, purporting to show explosions at the regional police headquarters and in residential areas. Russian paratroopers had landed and engaged Ukrainians in a firefight at a medical center, a local official said.
