Developments of the war on Ukraine.. Huge military crowds are approaching Kyiv and new countries are punishing Russia and Turkey is taking a rare position

Russian forces continued their quest to control the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and other cities, to enter the war launched by Russia on its western neighbor, its sixth day without a major dramatic change.

In conjunction with the battles and the huge Russian military build-up approaching Kyiv, negotiations were launched between the two sides of the conflict in Belarus, while the United Nations General Assembly announced the holding of a special session to discuss the situation in Ukraine based on a Security Council resolution.

The declarations of countries did not stop with imposing additional sanctions on Russia following its military operations in Ukraine, and Turkey recorded a rare position by asking all countries not to send warships to its straits between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, in implementation of the Montreux Treaty of 1936.
