- Ukrainian officials reported Saturday that Russian forces had blown up a gas pipeline in Kharkiv.
What else is happening: Russia's military also pressed strategic ports in southern Ukraine after slamming airfields and fuel facilities elsewhere in the country, AP notes.
- Ukraine's government remained in control of the capital, Kyiv, despite another night of bombardment from Russian forces, according to multiple reports.
