Ukraine's Zelensky called areas under Russian control a "zone of total catastrophe" and said the military situation in Severodonetsk was dire.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. No one believed it was going to impact the world the way it did.” Severodonetsk: Zelensky said Thursday night that the Ukrainian military had “some success” fighting against Russian troops for control of this embattled eastern city, which appears to be mainly in Moscow’s hands. The Russian navy effectively controls all traffic in the northern third of the Black Sea, according to U.S. intelligence assessments. Chernihiv and Kharkiv regions: “Absolutely senseless shelling” persists near Ukraine’s northern border regions, Zelensky said, adding that some strikes were coming from Russian territory. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday that Ukraine faced a “war of attrition” and that the West needed to make its support sustainable. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the military situation in the city was dire and called the 20 percent of Ukraine under Russian occupation a “zone of total catastrophe.” He also condemned the continued shelling of Ukraine’s northern regions from across the Russian border. Russia would control the Luhansk region if it captures Severodonetsk as well as a city just to its south, according to the latest assessment from the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW). A Kremlin readout of the conversation, however, did not go as far. He also said Ukraine, which laid floating mines to stave off attacks, must demine the Black Sea ports. He described the actions as lawful, but declined to elaborate further, Sky News reported.

As Russian troops advance gradually in eastern Ukraine, Africa appeals to President Vladimir V. Putin for relief from the growing food shortages created by ...

In West Africa, one of the most visible effects of the war so far has been on bread prices that were already on the rise. Millions of tons of grain remain stuck in Ukraine; Mr. Putin has suggested that this would change if the West lifted sanctions imposed on Moscow after the invasion. Aid organizations have also warned that diverting aid from African populations in favor of Ukrainian refugees will only make things worse on the continent. “Every new embassy that returns to our capital is a testament to the faith in our victory.” Prominent in those efforts are the vivid presentations that the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has made to other nations’ leaders, and his nightly addresses to his compatriots. The European Parliament has banned lobbyists for Russian companies from its premises, its president Roberta Metsola said in a tweet. At a news conference alongside Mr. Putin in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Mr. Sall also said Western sanctions on Russia had compounded Africa’s lack of access to grain. “Our countries, even if they are far from the theater,” Mr. Sall said, “are victims of this crisis.” On Friday, Chad, a landlocked nation of 17 million people, declared a food emergency and the United Nations has warned that nearly a third of the country’s population would need humanitarian assistance this year. On Friday, fighting continued to rage in Sievierodonetsk, the last major city in the Luhansk region of the Donbas not under Russian control. Capturing the industrial Donbas region could give Mr. Putin a victory to herald to the Russian people and a land bridge to Crimea. That has emboldened Mr. Putin’s negotiating position in any future peace talks and has expanded Russia’s capacity to launch attacks in the country.

The United Nations recorded 4,183 confirmed civilian deaths across Ukraine from the time of the Russian invasion through Thursday, according to the office of the U.N.

Most of them were killed by small arms, not during explosions,” Mr. Nebytov said on a national news broadcast, according to online newspaper Ukrainian Pravda. The Kyiv city military administration said separately that 95 civilians, including four children, had been killed by Russian missile strikes on Kyiv since the invasion began on Feb. 24.
