Dozens are reported dead.
There are reports that the city of Kharkiv in Ukraine has been hit by a huge Russian bombardment, on the 5th day of the invasion.
The Ukrainian interior minister is claiming dozens of people have been killed in the rocket strikes, and many more wounded.
It's also understood that shelling has intensified in the city of Donetsk.
On the diplomatic front, talks are under way between officials from both sides.
Ukraine wants an immediate ceasefire and Russian troops to leave.
Ukraine's president has asked foreign nationals to consider joining their fight.
There are suggestions from the Kremlin that might be why the Russian president's put his nuclear weapons on 'high alert'.
Meanwhile, World health officials warn oxygen levels are running 'dangerously' low in Ukraine, as they call for the 'safe passage' of medical supplies.
They say trucks aren't able to get to hospitals, including in the capital Kyiv.
British intelligence suggests Russian troops are around 30 kilometres miles from the city centre, though there's been shelling and strikes on the area.
