Kyiv has accused Moscow of committing war crimes by deliberately shelling residential areas.
The latest satellite imagery shows the magnitude of destruction of Ukrainian cities facing Russian airstrikes and artillery as the conflict in the pro-western country enters its fourth week.
The images released by Maxar Technologies, a private US company, reveal significant damage to residential homes, apartment buildings, stores in the port city of Mariupol, the city on the front line of Ukraine's war.
New examples of airstrikes and artillery impacts are also seen in and around Kyiv. Damage to grocery stores, homes, residential buildings and other infrastructure can be seen in Hostomel, Moschun, Irpin and other towns to the northwest of the city. A frontline suburb of Kyiv, Irpin has witnessed some of the fiercest fighting since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Russia's offensive remains largely stalled, with troops about 30 kilometres (20 miles) east of the capital and facing heavy resistance.
