The latest as of 2:20 p.m. ET Saturday: A curfew in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been extended as Russian troops continued to pound on several areas of the country for a third consecutive day.

The prolonged curfew will run from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. and remain in effect until Monday, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitchsko announced Saturday after a night of airstrikes and intense gun fighting rocked the city.
