Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting in various parts of Ukraine. Russia has closed four German consulates in response to the invasion.
The situation on the ground in Ukraine is "extremely alarming," says the president of the Ukraine. The president is expected to launch a reverse offensive against the Ukrainian army in the next few days, says the head of the Ukrainian military. The Russian government has ordered the closure of four of the country's most important consulates, including the one in Germany. The closure of the consulates is due to the fact that the country imports large amounts of natural gas from Russia.
