Russia’s withering assault on Ukraine has entered its 16th day. New satellite images show a column of Russian tanks and armored vehicles has dispersed north of Kyiv for a possible ground assault on the capital. Earlier today, Russian airstrikes hit the city of Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine, killing at least one person. The airstrikes reportedly hit a kindergarten, an apartment building and a shoe factory. Long-range Russian missiles also hit airfields in two western cities. Some 400,000 people remain trapped by Russian forces in the besieged city of Mariupol. People in the region say they’ve endured near-constant artillery attacks amid freezing temperatures, with no heat, electricity or communications, and food and water in short supply.

Anadol resident 1: “There is nothing here. It’s the first time that we’ve got bread and food here. There was nothing before. It’s the first day. There is no information, no electricity. It’s just a vacuum.”

Anadol resident 2: “My children are in Mariupol and near Kyiv. I don’t know. There is no mobile connection so far, so we can’t get in touch. For two weeks we don’t know what is up with them and where they are — our children! It’s very scary.”
