Speaking overnight, Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of carrying out “continuous brutal bombings” of buildings and residential areas in the eastern part of the country. He likened the barrage of attacks as similar to the situation in Mariupol – a key port city that has been largely destroyed after almost daily strikes since the start of the Russian invasion in February. Live updates from the war in Ukraine “If the Russian invaders are able to carry out their plans, even in part, then they have enough artillery and aircraft to turn the whole of Donbas into stones. As they did with Mariupol,” Zelensky said. Key developments:

He added that the southeastern city had been turned into a “Russian concentration camp among the ruins”. Inside Mariupol, a battle is fought at the Azovstal steel plant, which has become the last stronghold in the area. Ukrainian troops have successfully fought Russian forces so far, but Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko said the situation was tragic and that citizens were “begging to be saved”. “It is not a matter of days, it is a matter of hours,” he said. Russian troops shifted their focus to eastern and southern Ukraine as they entered the second phase of their invasion after failing to occupy the capital, Kiev.
