Russia’s forces have intensified their devastating campaign of artillery and airstrikes against civilian
areas of Ukraine, with NATO warning “worse was still to come”, according to The Guardian.

The Guardian front page says Vladimir Putin has told Emmanuel Macron that Kyiv’s “refusal to accept Russia’s conditions” means he will continue to pursue his war in Ukraine.

The Guardian leads with the Ukrainian president’s warning that Russia wants to “erase” the people of Ukraine.

The Guardian leads with the story of how the “piercing screams of children” and “the barking of traumatised dogs” could be heard during the “desperate rush for the last train from Kyiv”.

The Guardian says that Russia’s continuing attacks on Ukrainian cities defy sanctions and peace talks.

The Guardian leads with Putin’s nuclear threat but also the growing backlash against his invasion of Ukraine.

The Guardian reports that Russian forces have tightened their stranglehold on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and carried out amphibious assaults on the country’s Black Sea coast.

Ukraine has been “fighting for its survival” after Vladimir Putin unleashed a punishing offensive on the country that left hundreds dead or injured, The Guardian reports.

The paper reports that Ukraine has declared a state of emergency, mobilised its reserves and told nearly 3 million of its citizens to leave Russia.

The paper reports that Vladimir Putin has said Russia will support the territorial claims of its proxy states in east Ukraine, increasing the likelihood of a larger conflict in the near future.
