A Russian missile hit an apartment building in Kyiv. There were reports of more strikes in other cities, east to west, north to south. This included Lviv in the west, near the border with Poland.

Ukraine says it came under a massive attack from Russian missiles Tuesday. Explosions were also reported in Poland.

President Biden and other G-7 leaders gathered in Bali for an emergency meeting to discuss the explosions in Poland. "We're going to find out exactly what happened," he said.

The Ukrainian president appears openly in front of the main government building in the southern city, and speaks to cheering residents who endured eight months of Russian occupation.

In the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson there's joy in the streets. Ukrainians celebrated late into the night to mark the pullout of Russian troops after eight months of occupation.

The Russian Defense Ministry says it has completed its withdrawal from the strategically important city of Kherson in southern Ukraine.

Russia says all its forces are gone from the key southern city of Kherson. Yet the Biden administration is publicly asking Ukraine to show a willingness to negotiate.

The threats come 60 years since the world held its collective breath during the Cuban Missile Crisis. What lessons does that 1962 crisis offer today?

When the question comes up on how the war in Ukraine ends, the debate tends to be brief. After eight months of fighting, most all the signs are pointing toward prolonged conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is again raising the possibility of such an attack. Experts said the likelihood still remains low, though risks are rising.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning an elaborate Kremlin ceremony Friday to annex four regions of Ukraine. The move could make it much harder to find a solution to the war.

The CIA rarely seeks publicity, but has opened up a bit as it marks its anniversary. Director William Burns told the inaugural podcast that he wanted to "demystify" some of the agency's work.

A top adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks to NPR about the latest Ukrainian military advances and Russia's plan to hold a referendum in territory it occupies.

In Ukraine's successful military offensive, the country again made the most of its lesser resources and also capitalized on Russian miscalculations. This scenario has played out multiple times.

Behind Ukraine's dramatic battlefield push and Russia's rapid retreat is a surprise tactic. With public attention focused on movements in Ukraine's south, Ukrainian forces struck in the east.

In a counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces have claimed swaths in the east of the country, dealing a heavy blow to Russian forces as the war marks 200 days.

Ukraine has been talking for weeks about a counteroffensive against Russian forces in the southern city of Kherson. Without saying so explicitly, Ukrainian attacks suggested an operation is underway.
