Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his latest nightly address to the nation says sanctions on Russia are very significant and economically painful, but still aren't enough for "the Russian military machine to be left without means of subsistence."
Russia appears to be retaliating for the sinking of its flagship missile cruiser Moskva, which Ukrainian forces say they hit with missiles, as explosions are heard in Kyiv. The U.S. now believes Ukrainian missiles sank the Moskva, an official told NBC News.
The loss of such a major naval asset may force Russia to rethink its strategy in the Black Sea, analysts say.
Finland's minister for European affairs says the Nordic country is "highly likely" to join NATO, a move Russia has warned against.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden says what took place in the Ukrainian town of Bucha was "indisputable evidence of Putin's war crimes everywhere." Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, likewise, urged Biden to label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.
