Russia Ukraine War March 27 Top Updates: Russia’s new tactical shift is seeing indiscriminate bombardment across Ukraine. Lviv, which remained largely unaffected so far, was attacked on Saturday. The attacks came just before US President Joe Biden was scheduled to deliver his speech in Warsaw. Lyiv is just 60 km away from Poland border and the missile attacks are seen as a new round of escalation by Moscow. While diplomatic stalemate continues, many are fearing false flag operations by Russia that may see use of banned weapons in coming days. Europe, which has not seen this scale of military violence since World War 2, is now trying to secure alternate oil supplies to reduce its dependency on Russia..

Here are the latest updates on Russia Ukraine War:

1: In a fiery speech in Warsaw, US President Joe Biden called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a ‘butcher’ for carrying out the invasion. He made this remark after he met the Ukrainian refugees in Poland. “For God’s sake, this man can’t remain in power,” said Biden as he pledged his support for Ukraine.
2: This comment, however, drew a sharp response from Moscow. Russia said that the US has no right to talk about regime change.
3: The White House quickly reacted to this and said that Biden’s remark was not about seeking any kind of change of guards in Moscow but a broader message for the international community to steel for a long war.
4: Four missiles struck Lviv in western Ukraine damaging critical infrastructure. No loss of life has been reported so far. Nearing Poland, this city has been home to hundreds of Ukrainian escaping the Russian assault.
5: A Buzzfeed report says that Russia has used white phosphorus bombs in Avdiivka. This is a frontline city in eastern Ukraine.
6: Ukrainian Parliament officials have been quoted by Reuters saying that Russian troops have fired at a nuclear research facility in Kharkiv. The International Atomic Energy Agency says that this is an alarming situation.
7: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has once again demanded the Nato nations to supply military hardware. After the flyzone ban demand, which was not met by the Nato, Zelenskiy has now asked for tanks, guns and other weaponry to stave off the Russian strikes.
8: While Russia has so far failed to take control of any major city in Ukraine, latest reports say that the Russian forces have encircled Chernihiv.
9: Reports from Western security officials have said that as many as seven top Russian generals have died in the conflict so far. Ukraine claims that Russia’s Lt Gen Yakov Rezantsev was killed on Saturday. If true, he was the highest-ranking military official to be killed.
10: Latest military intel reports from Kyiv say that Russia is trying to divide Ukraine into two separate regions after failing to take control of the nation. A Reuters report quoted Ukraine’s Kyrylo Budanov as saying that Russia is trying to split Ukraine in two regions like South and North Korea.
