'The dead aren't even being buried.' Unrelenting attacks by Russia's invading military have thwarted repeated attempts to send in food and medicine and evacuate civilians from Mariupol, a city of 430,000 in coastal Ukraine.

In temperatures sinking below freezing, villagers quickly spread plastic wrap or nailed plywood over blown out windows of their homes.On the economic and political front, the U.S. and its allies moved to further isolate and sanction the Kremlin. President Joe Biden announced thatand also ban imports of Russian seafood, alcohol and diamonds.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Ukrainian forces had “reached a strategic turning point,” though he did not elaborate. Russia said it used high-precision long-range weapons to put military airfields in Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk in the west “out of action.” The attack on Lutsk killed four Ukrainian servicemen, the mayor said.
