Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls for a prolonged truce to rescue the approximately 200 civilians and fighters sheltering in the bunkers of the Azovstal steel plant.

Russia says its forces will halt hostilities at Azovstal and open a humanitarian corridor for three days.

Ukraine’s Azov regiment says they are fighting “bloody battles” after Russians for the first time broke into the territory of the Azovstal plant.

Air alert sirens were activated across every region of Ukraine overnight.

Pentagon says recent Russian strikes in western Ukraine were aimed at critical infrastructure.
