Day five of the war

Photographs from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — negotiations take place as shelling continues

Shelling killed dozens of people in Kharkiv on February 28, Ukraine’s Interior Ministry reported. In Kyiv, the fifth day of the Russian invasion was marked by the reopening of grocery stores and public transportation after a tightened curfew. The United Nations estimates that more than 500,000 Ukrainians have already left the country. In Gomel, Belarus, delegations from Russia and Ukraine held talks that ended with the parties agreeing to meet again. Meduza shares snapshots from this day.
