Here are the latest developments in the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities are urging citizens in the separatist east to flee as the military battens down for a renewed assault by Russian forces to capture the region.
But the road out is a dangerous one, with reports across the country of civilians being killed as they try to escape. On a highway near Kyiv, the capital, as many as 50 bodies of civilians were discovered, according to a local mayor who captured photos of the apparent massacre. And more than 50 people died on Friday after Russia attacked a railway station in the east.
The U.S. military warned that Russian troops, after being thwarted in the capital, will likely carry out a major offensive in the east, stretching from Dnipro to Izium soon. Heavy fighting has already begun about 150 miles northeast of Izium. Satellite images showed hundreds of military vehicles moving through the town of Velykyi Burluk toward Izium on Friday.
