Ukraine conflict: Missiles hit Kharkiv

Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv has been hit by a Russian strike as a huge convoy of Russian armoured vehicles is slowly advancing on the capital Kyiv.
The European parliament has given a standing ovation to Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, as he told them by videolink that his people would not be broken by Russia's invasion. He's called Russia's shelling of the city of Kharviv a war crime.

We get updates from our correspondents on the ground and hear accounts of people witnessing the fighting. We also hear from our reporters and from the people arriving at the borders.

We speak to people heading to Ukraine as volunteer fighters, many joining up the reserves despite not having military experience. We also continue to explain the background to the conflict and the key terms regularly mentioned in our coverage.
