After a phone call with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko on Sunday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to hold talks with Russia at the Belarus border, according to AFP.
Also on Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the military to put its nuclear forces on the highest level of alert in response to what he called “aggressive statements” by NATO countries.
Ukrainian forces battled Russian troops on the streets of Kharkiv as Russian forces broke into the country’s second-largest city early on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon, Kharkiv governor Oleh Synyehubov reiterated Ukraine’s control over the city.
The Ukrainian president said he has submitted an application against Russia to the International Court of Justice.
On Sunday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry released the total estimated losses of Russian forces for the three previous days February 24-26.

“The information is indicative and can be clarified, as it is extremely difficult to obtain after the battle, because commanders primarily focus on fighting,” said the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. “In addition, we can get information only after the battle, and the battles are extremely long in time. Data can be received the next day, and sometimes every other day.”
