Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visits Ukraine and plans to speak to Ukraine’s president about his efforts to negotiate with Moscow for a corridor for people to leave the besieged area. Around 1,000 civilians and 2,000 Ukrainians service members are hiding inside the plant's labyrinth of underground facilities. Russia claimed Thursday it had stopped a "terrorist attack" in Simferopol, Crimea, and had detained a former Ukrainian service member who had been spurred on by Ukraine's far-right Azov battalion, according to Russia media. Moscow set its sights on Moldova last week when a Russian general said its goal was to gain "full control" over not only eastern Ukraine, but regions along its southern that sit above the Black Sea. In a Facebook post, Ukraine’s armed forces said "in almost all directions, the Russian occupiers are exerting intense fire," with the heaviest activity "observed in  Slobozhansky and Donetsk directions" of Ukraine’s north and east. Ukraine’s military said Thursday that Russia is "increasing the pace of the offensive operation" a day after Vladimir Putin warned the West that any outside interference would lead to "lightning"-fast retaliatory strikes.
Adeyemo said in an interview on CNBC that most major financial institutions are adhering to U.S. sanctions aimed at preventing Russia from acquiring materials needed for its war effort. But the new executive order due to be signed on Friday allows the Treasury to target banks in countries like China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other countries that may be willingly or unwittingly helping Russia evade sanctions, Adeyemo said. U.S. President Joe Biden’s new executive order strengthening U.S. sanctions against Russia will put new pressure on banks to ensure that their services are not being used to aid Russia‘s efforts to circumvent sanctions, U.S. A Russian deputy foreign minister said that talks with the United States on a potential prisoner exchange that would free Americans held in Russia are hampered by publicity and an alleged disparity in the U.S. negotiating stance.

The program included simulator flights, but the pilots did not fly in American aircrafts, officials said. President Joe Biden last month ruled out sending F-16 fighter jets, and senior U.S. officials have repeatedly said the aircrafts are not in the cards right now. But officials are working on other ways to boost the Ukrainian air force, including attempting to mount advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles on its Soviet-era MiG-29s, and assessing the skills of Ukrainian pilots. The Russian Federation’s representative said that “Russophobia” has become prevalent in Ukraine, emphasizing that the special military operation began to liberate Donbas after all the crimes committed by the Kyiv regime and Russia’s warnings against them.
The largest cargo plane in the world — Ukraine'sAntonov-225— was destroyed by Russian strikes outside Kyiv on the fourth day of Moscow's invasion, Ukraine's state-owned Ukroboronprom group said. Mr. Biden answered "no" when asked by CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes whether Americans should be worried about nuclear war as he was leaving a White House event marking Black History Month. "We are taking this action in accordance with the UN Headquarters Agreement. This action has been in development for several months." Some Ukrainians have been waiting in the freezing cold for days in a line that now stretches more than 20 miles long, longing to reach safety across the border in Poland.

A Kyivstar spokeswoman said the company hoped to restore all service by end of Wednesday but the network integrity company Kentik Inc. said only a fraction had been restored by the afternoon. In other developments, a “hacktivist” group called SoIntsepek claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack Tuesday against Ukrainian internet and cell phone provider Kyivstar, which serves more than 24 million mobile customers across the country. Elsewhere in Ukraine, 10 Russian drones were shot down, most of them in the Odesa region, the Ukrainian air force said. Russia has been stockpiling its air-launched cruise missiles from its heavy bomber fleet, according to a recent assessment by the U.K. The Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine said on December 22 the deputy ministers of infrastructure of Poland and Ukraine met in Kyiv and agreed on joint positions for unblocking the border.
After Russia's military reportedly denied a request from  the Ukrainian government to allow the evacuation civilians, the Ukrainians are renewing their efforts. Putin has made similarly threatening comments as he sought to deter NATO countries from interfering in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, promising such action "will lead you to such consequences that you have never encountered in your history," TASS reported. The Russian president said he intends the deployment of the missile will be “food for thought” for countries that could potentially choose to stand up to Russia, TASS reported. Ukraine presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak said five people, including a three-month-old infant, were killed. During a rare press conference, Zelenskyy said the top U.S. officials will meet with him Sunday to discuss Russia’s heightened aggression and additional support the U.S. can provide. Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces destroyed four Russian tanks, fifteen armored units, four vehicles, and five artillery systems, according to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces.
The energy ministry said it had taken the measures to boost supplies inside Russia and bring down rising prices that were hitting drivers and businesses across the country. Russian courts have sentenced several individuals to multiple years in prison - also on ‘terrorism’ charges - for attempted attacks on Ремонт вихлопної системи Київ military and government buildings. The UN human rights office said more than 10,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine’s troops faced “difficult” defensive operations on parts of the eastern front, as bitter winter cold settles in.

Eastern city Kharkiv's mayor Igor Terekhov, quoted by Ukrainian media, warned that Moscow's armored vehicles and tanks are "everywhere around the city." "Some vehicles are spaced fairly far apart while in other sections, military equipment and units are traveling two or three vehicles abreast on the road," Maxar said. Both types of weapons are widely condemned by international organizations, and a number of countries — though not Russia or the U.S. — have signed a treaty banning the use of cluster bombs. Thermobaric or vacuum bombs are prohibited by the Geneva Convention, of which Russia is a signatory. At a receiving station for refugees in a grocery store parking lot in Przemysl, a Polish town very close to Ukraine's western border, people from all over Poland and Europe have lined up along the bus route to offer rides and housing to those fleeing Russia's attack. 's foreign minister spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart on Tuesday and called for a resolution to the crisis through negotiation, Chinese state media said, as Beijing treads a difficult diplomatic line on the invasion by its close ally Moscow.
Kyiv has repeatedly urged its allies to provide the aircraft to counter Russia’s air supremacy in the parts of Ukraine occupied by Russian forces. “Our soldiers are firmly holding the defense in the Avdiyivka area , inflicting significant losses” to Russian forces, the General Staff said. There were no reports of damage or casualties as the results of the drone strikes that the air force said were mostly launched from the eastern coast of the Sea of Azov in Russia. Separately, Kyiv said that Ukraine's air defense shot down 14 out of 15 Russian drones launched overnight. Makhauri was reportedly arrested in January near the spot where he died in connection with a spate of car robberies and for illegal possession of weapons. Police and several people who knew Makhauri claimed he was a member of a Ukrainian volunteer battalion who fought against Russia-backed separatists in the country's war-racked east.

Those concerns come despite censorship and disinformation about what's really going on in Ukraine. Russian state media have not been showing Russian forces attacking Kyiv or Kharkiv, the two largest cities in Ukraine, and still describe the invasion as a special military operation in the eastern region of Donbas, Ilyushina reports. The House held a classified briefing on Ukraine with the White House national security team on Monday. The member stressed there are still a lot of unknowns, including what exactly Russia's strategy will be in Kyiv. Ukrainian service members stand guard outside the regional administration building, which city officials said was hit by a missile attack in central Kharkiv on March 1, 2022. Rescuers carry the body of a victim on a stretcher outside the regional administration building, which city officials said was hit by a missile attack, in central Kharkiv, Ukraine, March 1, 2022.
“As a result of this, Russian military planners probably believed that large numbers of repetitive strikes were unnecessary, given the expectation that Ukraine would quickly collapse,” Wright explains. One longer-term solution could be an increased focus on higher-speed cruise missiles. Moscow was working on two different high-speed cruise missile programs before abandoning these in the 1990s, after flight testing both the Mach-3-class Kh-80 and the Mach-4.5-class Kh-90. Russia has subjected Ukraine to a relentless missile bombardment since the full-scale war began, but its effectiveness has been mixed.
Secretary of the Zaporizhia City Council Anatoliy Kurtev has urged residents to remain indoors or in shelters, Pravda reported. “We don't want to see them be able to do this kind of thing in the future,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on Fox and Friends Tuesday. “We don't want to see a Russian capability that is persistent and an ability to invade another sovereign nation and destabilize the European continent any more than they already have." "And as the fight has evolved, you've seen their needs change from a lot of at the beginning, a lot of anti armor and aircraft weaponry," he added.
