War In Ukraine: What Happened On The 21st Day Of Russia’s Invasion?

As the war between Russia and Ukraine entered its 21st day, the situation remains tense between both countries. With Russian forces thumping Ukrainian cities, inching towards the capital Kyiv in a relentless bombardment, the humanitarian crisis in this war seems to be deepening in the third week. Still, with more talks taking place between the two sides, a narrow diplomatic channel stays open. A senior Ukrainian official said on Tuesday that the negotiation was difficult and there were fundamental contradictions but there was “certainly room for compromise. Russia is also issuing a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire to allow civilians to be evacuated and humanitarian aid to be delivered safely. Ukrainian presidential adviser, Volodymyr Zelenskyy says, the war is at a crossroads which could lead to either an agreement or Russia will begin a new onslaught. Meanwhile, a representative for Russia’s defense ministry claimed that Ukraine’s southern Kherson region is now entirely under Russian control. However, in his most recent address, Ukraine President Zelenskyy urged Russian forces to surrender rather than face the “shame” of fighting on. He described the conflict as a “horror,” claiming that Russia had lost more troops in Ukraine than in both Chechen conflicts combined. Here are the key events so far on Wednesday, March 16.
