Russia has invaded Ukraine and there is widespread fighting across the country.
Russia is intent on capturing Kyiv, with many experts saying their goal is to insert a puppet government. Ukraine is putting up a fierce resistance, handing out more than 18,000 rifles to citizens and encouraging their people to make Molotov cocktails.
Ukraine's President Zelensky remains in Kyiv despite Russian disinformation to the contrary. Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to react to the invasion. Kazakhstan, a strong ally to Russia, has refused to send troops into Ukraine. China voted to abstain on a UN Security Council resolution, which Russia vetoed. And Turkey closed the Black Sea to warships.
