Russian forces are getting closer to Ukraine’s capital, after continuing to cause devastation in the country. On Monday, Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv was the target of intensified shelling, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens, although authorities say the casualties could be much higher. Across Ukraine, civilians are huddling in shelters and basements.
