Russia-Ukraine War: What to know on Russia’s war in Ukraine

By The Associated Press

Russia’s war on Ukraine is in its ninth day. U.N. and Ukrainian officials say no radiation was released from a Russian attack at Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Frequent shelling could be heard Friday from the center of the capital, Kyiv. Heavy fighting continued on the outskirts of Mariupol, knocking out the port city’s electricity, heat and water systems, and most phone service. More than 1.2 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries. NATO is refusing to police a no-fly zone over Ukraine, saying such a move could provoke widespread war in Europe with Russia.
