President Volodymyr Zelensky is adamant that the Russians will not take UkraineRussian air strikes killed 35 people at a military base outside Ukraine's western city of Lviv, local officials said Sunday, in an attack that brings the conflict dangerously close to the Polish border.
For the first two weeks following its February 24 invasion, Russia's forces had focused on eastern and southern areas of Ukraine, notably the strategic and heavily besieged port of Mariupol. In the Black Sea city of Mykolaiv, near the strategic port of Odessa, regional governor Vitaliy Kim said nine people were killed in a Russian air strike.
Other cities have already fallen or been surrounded, with civilians targeted in what the United Nations warned could amount to war crimes.In his video address, Zelensky appealed for more aid. At least 579 civilians have been killed, according to a tally Saturday by the United Nations, which stressed that its figures were probably much lower than reality.
Britain's ministry of defence estimated that Russian forces were about 25 kilometres from Kyiv on Saturday and that a column north of the city had dispersed, reinforcing the indication of an attempt to encircle it. "They have to camp in villages in temperatures of nearly minus 10 Celsius at night. They lack provisions and have to raid houses," said one soldier, Ilya Berezenko, 27.Efforts for a diplomatic solution to the conflict continued, with French President Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Olaf Scholz speaking to Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin again Saturday.
