RUSSIAN MISSILE CRUISER MOSKVA (Wikipedia).

In what observers think is retaliation for the sinking of a missile cruiser, Russian forces unleashed missiles and other weapons against a variety of targets in Ukraine on Saturday.

The New York Times reports that the strikes had hit a tank factory in Kyiv, the capital, and other locations, including a factory that Russians believe produced the Neptune anti-ship missiles that struck and ultimately sunk the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian navy in the Black Sea.

Also, Russian forces were advancing into the port city of Mariupol where Ukrainian defenders were reportedly holding on to only a “small part of it. The Ukrainian government repeated its pleas for more military assistance and signaled a willingness to reopen negotiations with Russia
