War Nears 100th Day: Prez Says 14k Civilians And Service Members Killed; 1.5m People Displaced; 5m Fled Abroad

As Moscow's war in Ukraine approached its 100th day, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday said that Russia now occupied one-fifth of the country, with fighting raging from Kharkiv in the northeast to the city of Mykolaiv in the south. "If you look at the entire front line, and it is, of course, not straight, this line is more than a thousand kilometres," Zelensky told the parliament of Luxembourg in a virtual speech on Thursday. "Just imagine! Constant fighting, which stretched along the front line for more than a thousand kilometers." He said the Ukrainian territory now controlled by Russia was comparable to the area of the Netherlands.
