[edit]Russo-Ukraine War developments
Article body
[edit]From February 25th to April 2nd Russian forces closed in and attempted to capture the city of Kyiv. Russian forces besieged the city with artillery and rocket fire through March[1]. Following successful Ukrainian counterattacks in late March, Russian forces began withdrawing from the Kyiv area on 29 March[2][3]. The capture of Kyiv was a major objective for the Russian Offensive, the failure to do so was a major defeat for the Russian Army. On 2 April, Ukrainian authorities reported that the entire Kyiv region had been recaptured, ending the Battle of Kyiv(2022)[4][5].
Following the failure to take Kyiv, Russian forces diverted to the Eastern and Southern portions of Ukraine where heavy fighting continued. Russian forces began a "Heavy Offensive in Donbass"[6], and continued the Siege of Mariupol which had been under siege since the beginning of the invasion[7]. Conflicting information regarding a potential ceasefire in the besieged Ukrainian port city of Mariupol. Some sources claim that the Russian forces are currently maintaining a cease-fire around the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works plant[8]. However, other sources claim the Russian forces are attempting to "storm" the steel plant[9]. Sources of information regarding this potential ceasefire or offensive have been released around the same times. As of May 2nd, the NBC reports that "civilians are finally being evacuated from the bombed-out steel plant"[10].
