Air raid alert in Bila Tserkva.

Residents should go to the nearest shelter.

More from Kharkiv, where Monday saw some very heavy bombardment.

The BBC Ukrainian service report that contains quotes from the city’s mayor saying nine people have been killed also quotes a city official saying on Telegram that “dozens” of bodies could be seen in the city’s streets. He called it a “war crime”.

In quotes also reported by Agence France-Presse, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv military state administration, said the Russians had bombarded civilian areas where there was no critical infrastructure or armed forces. He estimated “there are 11 dead and dozens wounded”.

He added:

Dozens of dead civilians are lying in the middle of the streets, there are very seriously injured. Affected cars along with passengers burned to the ground.

What is happening in Kharkiv now is a war crime! It is a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

The struggle continues! We will survive, residents of Kharkiv region, we help each other, we are one!

Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations, Sergiy Kyslytsya, has read aloud a text message exchange between a Russian solider in Ukraine and his mother before he was killed.

When the mother purportedly asks her son if he is still in the Crimea on training exercises he tells her:

“Mama, I’m in Ukraine. There is a real war raging here. I’m afraid,” the message allegedly reads, adding that “we are bombing all the cities”, “even civilians”.

Russian tank column outside Kyiv 'is 40 miles long' – report
Satellite images taken on Monday show a Russian military convoy north of Kyiv that stretches for about 40 miles (64 km) in an area north-west of Kyiv. It is substantially longer than the 17 miles (27 km) reported earlier in the day, according to the US company Maxar, Reuters reports.

Maxar, which filed a series of satellite images on the Russian military buildup on the Ukraine border, also said additional ground forces deployments and ground attack helicopter units were seen in southern Belarus, less than 20 miles (32 km) north of the Ukraine border.

The United States has promised more sanctions against Russia and more weapons for Ukraine’s military, according to Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba.

After speaking on the phone to US secretary of state Anthony Blinken, Kuleba has tweeted that “US support for Ukraine remains unfaltering”.

“I underscored that Ukraine craves for peace, but as long as we are under Russia’s assault we need more sanctions and weapons. Secretary assured me of both. We coordinated further steps.”

In our call, SecBlinken affirmed that the U.S. support for Ukraine remains unfaltering. I underscored that Ukraine craves for peace, but as long as we are under Russia’s assault we need more sanctions and weapons. Secretary assured me of both. We coordinated further steps.

EU has received Ukraine's request for jets, but it has walked back on previous comments and acknowledged it doesn't have enough money to pay for them. If Ukraine is to get jets, it will have to get them bilaterally from EU countries.

Monaco, a tax haven often favoured by the super-wealthy, will proceed with freezing assets and imposing sanctions on certain Russians following President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the Monaco Royal Palace said on Monday.

Prince Albert of Monaco supported all efforts aimed at halting the fighting in Ukraine and encouraging the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from Ukrainian territory, the palace said.

"The Principality has adopted and implemented, without delay, procedures for freezing funds and economic sanctions identical to those taken by most European States," the palace said in a statement.

Foreigners, including rich Russians, have for years been attracted to Monaco, a tiny Mediterranean principality, by its warm climate and generous tax rules. During the summer months, Monaco's marina and bay are filled with the superyachts of international billionaires, celebrities and oligarchs.The Monaco Royal Palace did not say whose assets would be frozen.

Earlier on Monday, neighbouring France said it was combing through the financial assets owned by Russians listed on sanctions lists linked to the Ukraine war, including properties, yachts and luxury cars. read more

"We have the legal powers to seize all of these assets," French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said after a crisis meeting with President Emmanuel Macron.

Taiwan has sent 27 tonnes of medical supplies to Ukraine, the government announced on Tuesday, saying it was extending a helping hand as a member of the “democratic camp” in the international community, Reuters reports.

Taiwan has joined with Western allies in putting sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, and expressed cross-party sympathy for the Ukrainian people, seeing parallels with what Taipei views as Beijing’s threats against the island.

Taiwan’s foreign ministry said the supplies left on Monday night on a flight to Frankfurt and will be sent onwards to Ukraine via “appropriate routes and channels”.

Australia will contribute A$70m ($50m; £38m) in military support to Ukraine.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Tuesday the money will go towards lethal as well as non-lethal aid.

"We are talking missiles, ammunition, we are talking supporting them in their defence of their own homeland in Ukraine," he said.

He declined to elaborate on specifics, saying he did not want "to give Russia a heads up".

Morrison says his government will also commit A$35m in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Russian billionaires Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven said they would contest the “spurious and unfounded basis” of European Union sanctions imposed for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The EU on Monday sanctioned both Fridman and Aven, along with dozens of other prominent Russians, Reuters reported.

The EU said “Aven is one of Vladimir Putin’€™s closest oligarchs” and that Fridman had been “referred to as a top Russian financier and enabler of Putin’€™s inner circle.”

“Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven... are profoundly shocked by the demonstrably false allegations made in the EU Regulation purporting to justify the basis on which they have been sanctioned,” the businessmen said, adding:

Mr Fridman and Mr Aven will contest the spurious and unfounded basis for the imposition of these sanctions - vigorously and through all means available to them to reverse unwarranted and unnecessary damage to the livelihoods and prosperity of their many employees, customers, partners and stakeholders and the businesses that they and their partners have built up over the past 25 years.

Aven said it was wrong of the EU to say that he was an “especially close personal friend” of Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin. Fridman said it was untrue that he had €œcultivated strong ties€ to the administration of Vladimir Putin.

They both said it was untrue to state they “were unofficial emissaries for the Russian government” or that they had supported or benefited from Russian decision makers responsible for the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Russia’s advance on Kyiv has made little progress in the past 24 hours due to logistical difficulties and the army has increased its use of artillery north of the capital, a British military intelligence update said.

“The Russian advance on Kyiv has made little progress over the past 24 hours probably as a result of continuing logistical difficulties,” the British defence ministry said in a military intelligence update.

“Russian forces have increased their use of artillery north of Kyiv and in vicinities of Kharkiv and Chernihiv. The use of heavy artillery in densely populated urban areas greatly increases the risk of civilian casualties.”

“Russia has failed to gain control of the airspace over Ukraine prompting a shift to night operations in an attempt to reduce their losses,” it said.

Britain’s deputy prime minister has said that anyone engaging in war crimes in Ukraine would be held to account.

“This is turning into a much much more perilous misadventure for Putin than I think he realised,” Dominic Raab told Sky News.

“I think we’ve been very clear that those that engage in war crimes will be held to account.”

Raab added that Britain would not seek to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine, and said that the conflict would not be over even if Russia managed to occupy Kyiv.

Kharkiv government building targeted by missile
Kharkiv is under attack again on Tuesday morning. Local TV footage on social media shows a rocket, bomb or missile going off outside a building identified by the Kyiv Independent as the regional government headquarters.

According to a video of the event, the blast detonated right in front of the headquarters of the Kharkiv Oblast government.

Kherson 'surrounded' by Russian forces – reports
The southern Ukraine city of Kherson is “surrounded” by Russian soldiers, according to accounts by a Ukrainian journalist, Alyona Panina, and the city’s mayor.

The Kyiv Independent reported that Panina told Ukraine 24 TV on Tuesday morning: “The city is actually surrounded, there are a lot of Russian soldiers and military equipment on all sides, they set up checkpoints at the exits.”

She also told the TV channel that it was difficult to bring food to the shops of city, which is close to Odesa on the Black Sea, because the warehouses are located outside the city. Power and water were still connected in the city, she said.

Posting on Facebook, the city’s mayor, Igor Kolykhayev, said: “The Russian army is setting up checkpoints at the entrances of Kherson. Kherson has been and will stay Ukrainian.”

Dmytro Zhyvytskyy, regional governor, posted photographs of the charred shell of a four-storey building in Okhtyrka which is located in Sumy oblast between Kharkiv and Kyiv. Rescuers can be seen scouring the rubble for survivors.

In a later Facebook post, he said many Russian soldiers and some local residents died in the bombardment on Monday.

According to some reports shelling or missiles hit a building being used as a base by the Ukrainian military, as well as fuel tanks. One local official claimed fuel-air explosive had been used although that could not be independently confirmed. Video from the time of the attack showed a column of thick black smoke above the town.

Okhtyrka mayor, Pavlo Kuzmenko, posted on Facebook, saying: “Again, the enemy is waging a vile war. A fuel-air bomb was dropped on an oil depot, oil tanks were blown up.”

Kharkiv region head Oleg Synegubov said that Russian missile attacks hit the centre of Ukraine’s second-largest city, including residential areas and the regional administration building.

Synegubov said Russia launched Grad and cruise missiles on Kharkiv but that the city defence was holding. “Such attacks are genocide of the Ukrainian people, a war crime against the civilian population,” he said.

Wearing a flak jacket and a helmet, Synegubov said in a video posted on social media on Tuesday morning that it was too early to know the number of casualties.

He shared a video showing Kharkiv regional administration building being hit by a missile and exploding.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called for more international sanctions against Russia after what he said was a “barbaric” attack on the city of Kharkiv.

“Barbaric Russian missile strikes on the central Freedom Square and residential districts of Kharkiv. Putin is unable to break Ukraine down. He commits more war crimes out of fury, murders innocent civilians,” Kuleba said on social media.

“The world can and must do more. INCREASE PRESSURE, ISOLATE RUSSIA FULLY,” he wrote.

Russia will face the collapse of its economy as a result of Western sanctions punishing Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Tuesday.

The United States and its allies have imposed sanctions on Russia’s central bank, its top businesses, oligarchs and officials, including Vladimir Putin himself, and barred some Russian banks from the Swift international payments system.

“We are going to deliver a total economic and financial war against Russia,” Le Maire told France Info radio. “We are going to provoke the collapse of the Russian economy.”

The Russian rouble fell steeply on Monday, although the currency clawed back a bit of ground on Tuesday.
