Russia continued with its offensive on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Day 7 of its invasion. Russia has asked civilians in Ukraine's capital Kyiv to leave the city as it warned of strikes against intelligence facilities. 

On the other hand, the Russian Defence Ministry said it would target the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the 72nd Main Centre for Information and Psychological Operations (PSO) in Kyiv.

Satellite images of a massive 40-mile long Russian military convoy -- made up of armoured vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other logistical vehicles -- went viral.

Meanwhile, Russian air strikes hit a residential block in Kharkiv and the main TV tower in the capital Kyiv, Ukraine said on Tuesday, as Moscow stepped up attacks despite sanctions.
