Russia-Ukraine war latest updates – The Washington Post
Parts of a key bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimean peninsula appeared to be on fire Saturday morning, Russian and Ukrainian media reported. The Kerch strait bridge is vital to Russia’s ability to supply its invading forces in southern Ukraine, where Kyiv’s troops have made recent gains.
Ukraine took back nearly 300 square miles in the east this week, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Facing Ukrainian advances there and in the south, Russian forces are intensifying missile attacks on civilian areas in key regions across the country, including Donbas, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia. On Thursday alone, at least 22 civilians were killed and 32 others were wounded in the southeast.
