The Latest Key Developments In Ukraine
Newsy
Russia has yet to fully seize any major city, but many analysts warn the Russian offensive is steadily continuing.
Russian forces ratcheted up their attack on Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian government, dozens were killed and hundreds wounded, though it’s unclear how many — if any — were civilians.
A U.S. defense official has claimed Belarus may soon send its own troops to aid Russia. Meanwhile, the U.S. has sent more aid and weapons to Ukraine as part a new package from the White House.
Western intelligence suggests Russia may have "slowed down" its offensive over the weekend on the capitol city of Kyiv due to logistical problems and heavy resistance from civilians, though the Russian government claims the slowdown was intentional.
