There War in Ukraine reached day 674. Explosions were heard in Kiev on Friday morning while Russian forces targeted several cities in Ukraine overnight, leading to the triggering of a nationwide air alert. The city of Kharkiv in the northeast of the country was the target of a “massive” air strike: “There were at least six explosions,” reported the mayor. In Odessa, debris from a downed drone damaged a skyscraper and a fire broke out. Meanwhile, Pope Francis and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke on the phone and spoke of “working together on the formula for peace.”
