NPR is reporting that Russian forces are still meeting Ukrainian resistance, and have only made "moderate progress" toward some cities in the past 24 hours.

However, a direct Russian strike has reportedly devastated a maternity hospital in Mariupol.

Are cease-fires being violated?

Where do humanitarian routes actually lead?
