The Guardian – Russia’s deadly raids defy sanctions and peace talks 

The Guardian says that Russia’s continuing attacks on Ukrainian cities defy sanctions and peace talks. The paper says the Kremlin, having failed to land a knockout blow in the first days of the war, is now “prepared to use more desperate measures.” It says rocket attacks on Monday killed dozens of civilians in Kharkiv, while several detonations were also reported in Kyiv – although it notes Russian forces have yet to take any major Ukrainian city.
