The Russian convoy to the northwest of Kyiv hasn’t moved closer to the capital over the past 24 hours, a senior U.S. defense official said, but Russian strikes are keeping up the pressure on other cities, including Kharkiv, Mariupol and Mikolaiv.
Here's what we're following today:
The latest military moves: Russian strikes hit near two airports on Friday, in an indication that its offensive is widening.
Possible Russian war crimes: An expert tells NPR that evidence of war crimes is "undoubtable" and that an investigation against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his generals should go forward.
Nuclear danger: Russian strikes at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant came much closer to disaster than first reported.
