Russian armies advance far into Ukraine.

Invading Russian forces pushed farther into Ukraine, with deadly fighting reaching the outskirts of Kyiv early Friday (Feb 25), with explosions heard in the city described as "horrific rocket attacks" by the besieged government.
Following Russian President Vladimir Putin's defiance of Western warnings to launch a full-scale land invasion and air attack that immediately cost hundreds of lives and displaced at least 100,000 people, the explosives in Kyiv sparked a second day of carnage.
