Here are the latest developments in Ukraine.

Three European leaders headed to Kyiv on Tuesday to express the European Union’s “unequivocal support” and offer financial help to Ukraine, a dramatic visit that comes as intense fighting rages around the Ukrainian capital.

Traveling by train, the leaders of the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia crossed into Ukraine on Tuesday morning, hours after a series of loud pre-dawn blasts shook Kyiv.

Even as Russia’s advance remains stalled on several fronts, with Ukrainian forces repelling attacks in parts of the east and the south, Russian troops continued to bombard areas around Kyiv, striking residential buildings and other civilian targets. Russia’s Defense Ministry also claimed to have captured the entire Kherson region, possibly strengthening the Kremlin’s ability to push west toward the port city Mykolaiv.

Offering a glimmer of hope amid a worsening humanitarian catastrophe, talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were set to resume on Tuesday.
