"Street fighting broke out in Ukraine’s second-largest city Sunday and
Russian troops put increasing pressure on strategic ports in the
country's south following a wave of attacks on airfields and fuel
facilities elsewhere that appeared to mark a new phase of Russia's
invasion.
Following its gains on the ground, Russia sent a delegation to
Belarus for peace talks with Ukraine, according to the Kremlin.
Ukraine's president suggested other locations, saying his country was
unwilling to meet in Belarus because it served as a staging ground for
the invasion.
Until Sunday, Russia's troops had remained on the outskirts of
Kharkiv, a city of 1.4 million about 12.4 miles south of
the border with Russia, while other forces rolled past to press the
offensive deeper into Ukraine.
Videos posted on Ukrainian media and social networks showed Russian
vehicles moving across Kharkiv and Russian troops roaming the city in
small groups. One video showed Ukrainian soldiers inspecting Russian
light utility vehicles damaged by shelling and abandoned by Russian
troops on a street." JapanToday
