Russia bombards Ukraine urban areas as armed convoy stalls

A view shows the area near the regional administration building, which city officials said was hit by a missile attack, in central Kharkiv, Ukraine on March 1, 2022.KYIV - Russia bombed a TV tower in Ukraine's capital on Tuesday and rained rockets on the city of Kharkiv as Moscow intensified its bombardment of Ukrainian urban areas in a shift of tactics after its six-day invasion stalled.

In a joint interview with Reuters and CNN, Zelenskiy also urged Nato members to impose a no-fly zone to stop Russia's airforce, something the military alliance has ruled out. But nearly a week since Russian troops poured over the border, they have not captured a single major Ukrainian city after running into far fiercer resistance than they expected.

Human rights groups and Ukraine's ambassador to the United States have accused Russia of using cluster bombs and vacuum bombs, weapons condemned by many organisations. Moscow denies targeting civilians. Zelenskiy said Kyiv remained the main target. Some Kyiv residents have been sheltering in underground metro stations at night, there are long lines for fuel, and some products are running out in shops.In an emotional address to the European Parliament by video link on Tuesday, a day after he signed an official request to join the European Union, Zelenskiy urged the bloc to prove that it sided with Ukraine.
