KYIV, Ukraine (AP) Russian forces bombarded the central square in Ukraines second-largest city and other civilian sites Tuesday in what the countrys president condemned as a blatant campaign of terror by Moscow. Nobody will forgive. Nobody will forget, vowed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In Kyiv, the TV tower in the capital was hit, according to Ukraines parliament, which posted a photo of clouds of smoke around it. Local media reported that there were several explosions and that Ukrainian TV channels stopped broadcasting shortly afterward.

At the same time, a 40-mile (64-kilometer) convoy of hundreds of Russian tanks and other vehicles advanced on Kyiv in what the West feared was a bid to topple Ukraines government and install a Kremlin-friendly regime.

And Russian President Vladimir Putins forces pressed their attack on other towns and cities across the country, including at or near the strategic ports of Odesa and Mariupol in the south.
