Explosions hit the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv Friday morning amid reports that Russia is launching another major offensive.
Eastern Ukraine is at risk of a large-scale assault as Russian military attempt to break through defenses close to the town of Kreminna, the governor for the Luhansk region said.
That comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy makes a trip to Brussels as part of a three-day tour of Europe to urge leaders to speed up weapons delivery and open EU membership talks.Russia said Friday it will cut oil production by 500,000 barrels per day — around 5% of output — in March following Western leaders' move to implement price caps.
"In this regard, Russia will voluntarily reduce production by 500,000 barrels per day in March. This will contribute to the restoration of market relations," Novak added. Ukraine's power operator Ukrenergo said several facilities in eastern, southern and western Ukraine had been hit, disrupting power supply.
