The mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, says about 2 million people have fled the city - about half of the capital's population. Vitaly Klitsko said every street and building in the city has now been turned into a fortress.

Russian forces have now moved closer to the city, and fighting is raging between Ukrainian and Russian troops for control of a highway. The United Nations says the number of people fleeing Ukraine to neighboring countries has now exceeded 2.3 million.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba says they have agreed to work on humanitarian issues at a meeting in Turkey. But his country "will not surrender."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says his country wants "serious talks" to resolve the Ukraine crisis.
