俄罗斯军队正在继续他们穿越乌克兰的尝试据美国官员称,由总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)领导的乌克兰人正在进行“顽强的抵抗”。
袭击始于2月24日,当时俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京宣布了一项“特别军事行动”
从邻国白俄罗斯向乌克兰首都基辅移动的俄罗斯军队,在进入约20英里范围内后,似乎没有向该市推进更近,不过至少从上周五开始,规模较小的先遣部队一直在首都内与乌克兰军队发生枪战。
俄罗斯受到了来自美国、加拿大和欧洲各国的制裁,目标是俄罗斯经济和普京本人。
佩洛西:众议院将就乌克兰援助投票,采取措施禁止俄罗斯能源进口
在给众议院民主党人的一封新的信中,议长南希·佩洛西重申了本周在政府拨款措施中批准对乌克兰新援助的计划。
她还说,禁止进口俄罗斯石油和能源产品的新立法将废除与俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的正常贸易关系,并拒绝俄罗斯加入世界贸易组织。
这项措施也将赋予政府更多权力来提高对俄罗斯进口商品的关税。
佩洛西说,国会和拜登政府“仍然专注于为美国家庭和我们的合作伙伴降低更高的能源成本”,并指出,已经从战略储备中释放了6000万桶石油,盟友们表示,他们将减少对俄罗斯能源的依赖。
佩洛西在信中写道:“随着西方精心协调努力,对俄罗斯实施制裁,并减轻这些努力的成本,我们正在捍卫我们在海外的价值观,同时保护我们在国内的家人。”。
尚不清楚众议院何时会采取这项措施,但国会需要在周五之前批准政府拨款,其中包括对乌克兰的援助。
泽伦斯基警告说,俄罗斯有计划的打击将意味着无数的平民伤亡
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)在一次新的讲话中警告说,俄罗斯计划对军事工业设施进行的打击将导致无数平民伤亡。
他在最近一次演讲的开头说,在乌克兰人公认的“宽恕日”这一天,俄罗斯不会被宽恕。
“我们不会原谅射杀我们的人民和摧毁我们的基础设施。成百上千的受害者,无法估量的痛苦。上帝不会原谅这一点,今天不会,明天也不会,永远不会,”泽伦斯基说。
俄罗斯国防部周日宣布,将使用高精度武器摧毁乌克兰的军事工业设施。
泽伦斯基警告说,这些地点位于被平民住宅包围的城市地区。“成千上万的人在那里生活和工作,”他说。“这将是一场有预谋的谋杀,但今天我没有听到任何世界领导人或任何政治家的任何反应。”
他说,俄罗斯提前公开宣布“有计划的暴行”,因为国际社会没有做出任何反应。
“好吧,我希望你明天看到这一切发生时,至少能说点什么,”泽伦斯基说。“我们确切地知道这些袭击将如何进行,我们知道整个指挥系统,我们知道一切,我们不会原谅任何事情。”
美国国防部官员称,自入侵开始以来,俄罗斯发射了约600枚导弹
一名高级国防官员表示,自2月24日入侵乌克兰以来,俄罗斯已经发射了大约600枚导弹。
他们无法证实任何关于使用集束弹药或温压武器的报告。
这位官员说,乌克兰的空中和导弹防御系统仍然有效并在使用,尽管乌克兰上空存在争议。
这位国防官员补充说,双方都损失了飞机和导弹防御库存,尽管他们没有透露确切的数字,但他们认为俄罗斯和乌克兰仍然拥有大部分的防空系统。
该官员还表示,俄罗斯军队仍试图向乌克兰北部和东部推进,但遭到了乌克兰方面的强烈抵抗。车队仍然停滞不前。

宜家、万事达、维萨和美国运通也有暂停的服务去俄罗斯。微软和苹果也停止了在中国的所有销售,包括游戏机和手机。
Russia-Ukraine updates: Zelenskyy says Russia openly announcing 'planned atrocity'
Russian forcesare continuing their attempted push through Ukrainefrom multiple directions, while Ukrainians, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are putting up "stiff resistance," according to U.S. officials.
The attack began Feb. 24, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation."
Russian forces moving from neighboring Belarus toward Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, don't appear to have advanced closer to the city since coming within about 20 miles, although smaller advanced groups have been fighting gun battles with Ukrainian forces inside the capital since at least Friday.
Russia has been met by sanctions from the United States, Canada and countries throughout Europe, targeting the Russian economy as well as Putin himself.
House to vote on Ukraine aid, take up measure to ban Russian energy imports: Pelosi
In a new letter to House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi reiterated plans to approve new aid for Ukraine in a government funding measure this week.
She also said new legislation to ban the import of Russian oil and energy products would repeal normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus and deny Russia access to the World Trade Organization.
The measure would also give the administration more power to raise tariffs on Russian imports.
Pelosi said Congress and the Biden administration “remain laser-focused on bringing down the higher energy costs for American families and our partners,” noting that 60 million barrels of oil have been released from strategic reserves and allies have said they will reduce their dependence on Russian energy.
“With the West’s carefully coordinated effort to sequence sanctions on Russia and mitigate for the costs of these efforts, we are standing up for our values abroad while protecting our families at home,” Pelosi wrote in the letter.
It’s not clear when the House will take up this measure, but Congress needs to approve government funding -- which will include the Ukraine aid -- by Friday.
Zelenskyy warns a planned Russian strike will mean countless civilian casualties
A planned Russian strike targeting military-industrial facilities will result in countless civilian casualties, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in a new address.
He began his latest speech by saying that on a day recognized by Ukrainians as “Forgiveness Sunday,” there will be no forgiveness for Russia.
“We will not forgive shooting our people and destroying our infrastructure. Hundreds upon hundreds of victims, immeasurable suffering. God will not forgive this, not today, nor tomorrow, never,” Zelenskyy said.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday it will use high-precision weapons to destroy Ukrainian military-industrial facilities.
Zelenskyy warned those sites are in urban areas surrounded by civilian residences. “Hundreds of thousands of people live and work there,” he said. “This will be a premeditated murder, but today I haven’t heard any reaction from any world leader or any politician.”
He said Russia was openly announcing a “planned atrocity” in advance because there is no reaction from the international community.
“Well, I hope you’ll at least say something tomorrow when you’ll see it happened,” Zelenskyy said. “We know exactly how these attacks will be carried out, we know the full chain of command, we know everything, and we’ll forgive nothing.”
Around 600 Russian missiles launched since invasion began: US defense official
Approximately 600 Russian missile launches have taken place since the invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, a senior defense official said.
They could not corroborate any reports of the use of cluster munitions or thermobaric weapons.
Ukrainian air and missile defenses are still effective and in use, the official said, though the airspace over Ukraine is contested.
Both sides have taken losses to aircraft and missile defense inventories, the defense official added, and while they did not reveal exact numbers, they believe both Russia and Ukraine still have a majority of their air defense systems.
The official also said Russian forces are still trying to advance across the north and east of Ukraine but are being met with strong Ukrainian resistance. The convoy is still stalled.
