What’s the latest?
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, with Moscow’s forces having taken the port and train station in the strategically important city of Kherson, on the Black Sea. Russian paratroopers landed in Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv, at 3am on Wednesday, security chiefs said, after several days of fierce bombardment that killed or wounded dozens of civilians. Kyiv has also come under more heavy shelling as Russian forces step up their offensive and move closer towards the capital in an apparent attempt to encircle it. The strategically important Sea of Azov port city of Mariupol is reportedly surrounded by Russian troops.
