A roundup of key developments and the latest in-depth coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia unleashes a heavy bombing campaign. Cities are reduced to rubble. Thousands of civilians are killed. Russia did that twice in Chechnya in the 1990s. Is a repeat likely in Ukraine today?

Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed pausing tax increase on gas sellers and Republican state lawmakers have pushed for suspending the tax entirely in the short term.

Emergency diesel generators are providing power to critical safety systems at the facility, but they have only enough fuel for 48 hours.

CIA Director William Burns says Russia's invasion of Ukraine has fallen far short of Vladimir Putin's expectations. Burns now predicts weeks of "ugly" fighting for control of Ukraine's cities.

President Biden described the move as a critical step to punishing Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, but said as a result, Americans should prepare for price hikes at the pump.

As Saturday comes to a close in Kyiv and Moscow, here is a look at the key developments of the day:

The head of the U.N. atomic watchdog says there was no release of radioactive material after a projectile hit a building at the plant facility.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has ordered state liquor store owners to stop selling Russian manufactured distilled spirits. It’s a protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
