Russia caused significant damage to roads, bridges during withdrawal

Russian troops made sure to leave lasting damage on key infrastructure around Kyiv as they withdrew from the area, according to the latest British intelligence report. 

The troops left land mines and vehicles along key routes throughout Northern Ukraine, and destroyed several river crossings in and around Chernihiv. 

The damaged infrastructure now makes it difficult to deliver humanitarian aid to much of the region, the British Defense Ministry said.

Russia bans Boris Johnson and other UK officials over Ukraine war sanctions

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Saturday that British political figures including Prime Minister Boris Johnson are banned from entering the country due to “hostile actions” against Russia. 

The Russian MFA accused Britain of “deliberately aggravating” the situation in Ukraine, including “pumping” lethal weapons into the country and coordinating similar efforts with NATO allies. 

“The Russophobic course of the British authorities, whose main task is to stir up a negative attitude towards our country, curtails bilateral ties in almost all areas and is detrimental to the well-being and interests of the inhabitants of Britain itself,” the ministry wrote, calling Britain’s actions “unacceptable.” 

Russia banned over a dozen British officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and former prime minister Theresa May.

Besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol holding out against Russian invasion

The besieged Ukrainian port city of Mariupol is holding out against the continuous bombardment from Russian forces.

Ukrainian troops are ferociously battling the superior firepower of the Russians in the once bustling city where about a quarter of its pre-war population remains.

The fighting and resistance from Ukraine has helped to tie up Russian forces and delay a planned offensive in eastern Ukraine.

“As long as the street fighting is going on, Russia can’t remove troops from Mariupol and deploy them to other areas, including Donbas,” Oleh Zhdanov, an independent military expert, told the Associated Press.

The Russians see Mariupol as a key objective since the beginning of the invasion on Feb. 24, as taking it over could help Russia establish a land corridor to Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

Ukrainian marries Russian in Mexico after war disrupted wedding plans

A Ukrainian woman got married to a Russian man in the Mexican border city of Tijuana this week.

After the war disrupted their plan to wed in Kyiv, they hoped to travel to the U.S. to marry.

While the bride, Daria Sakhniuk was allowed to enter the U.S. as a Ukrainian refugee, her partner, Semen Bobrovski, a Russian citizen, was unable to travel due to restrictions over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Bobrovski told El Sol de Tijuana he felt being married could help his chances to enter the U.S. with his wife -- as Russian nationals with family members stateside are the only ones allowed to enter the country.

“Without it, we won’t be able to cross because, still to the official American government, we are strangers to each other," Bobrovski said.

Zelenskyy urges 'democratic world' to ban Russian oil, says sanctions 'painful' but not enough

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday called on the "democratic world" to ban Russian oil.

“In general, the democratic world must accept that Russia’s money for energy resources is in fact money for the destruction of democracy,” Zelenskyy said in a nightly address to Ukraine.

He said that sanctions on Russia were "painful" but not enough as Europe relies more heavily on Russian energy supplies.

“The sooner the democratic world recognizes that the oil embargo against Russia and the complete blockade of its banking sector are necessary steps towards peace, the sooner the war will end," he added.
