A Russian official said convoys of military aid from the West are "legitimate targets” as the U.S. and Europe steps up the movement of supplies into Ukraine. The Russian military continues to target sites ringed around Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, and intense fighting has been reported. Vladimir Putin spoke with his French and German counterparts.
Over 2.5 million Ukrainians have fled the country, with a majority crossing over to Poland, and that could climb to 4 million within days.
The European Union has proposed to double the size of a fund that provides weapons to Ukraine. It also disbursed 300 million euros in financial aid, with more to come. Additional EU sanctions are expected to be confirmed.
