The Russia-Ukraine War: Latest News and Live Updates

-

Ukraine: Russian missiles hit an aircraft repair facility in western Ukraine, striking a long-range target far from the battlefield while attacks continued on other cities.

The Ukrainian Air Force said six cruise missiles were fired from the Black Sea. Two were intercepted, preventing them from reaching the target near the airport in the western city of Lviv.

The thud of artillery exchanges and small-arms fire was audible in the outskirts of Kyiv. A Russian rocket, reportedly shot down by Ukrainian air-defense forces, landed in a downtown neighborhood, injuring a half dozen people who were cut by flying glass.

In Mariupol, rescue efforts continued at the site of a destroyed theater where hundreds of Ukrainian civilians had sought shelter as Russian forces bombarded the southern port city.

In Washington: The House passed legislation to end normal trade ties with Russia, and President Biden was set to speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday as the U.S. works to deter Beijing from deeper involvement with Moscow on its war effort.

“We believe China in particular has a responsibility to use its influence...to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday.

“Instead, we fear that China is moving in the opposite direction by refusing to condemn this aggression, while seeking to portray itself as a neutral arbiter,’’ Mr. Blinken said.
