Russia-Ukraine updates: Putin says 'certain positive movements' in negotiations
A third round of talks between Russia and Ukraine ended without any resolution.
Russian forces are continuing their attempted push through Ukraine from multiple directions, while Ukrainians, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are putting up "stiff resistance," according to U.S. officials.
The attack began Feb. 24, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation."
Russian forces moving from neighboring Belarus toward Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, have advanced closer to the city center in recent days despite the resistance, coming within about 9 miles as of Friday.
Russia has been met by sanctions from the United States, Canada and countries throughout Europe, targeting the Russian economy as well as Putin himself.

Zelenskyy warns a planned Russian strike will mean countless civilian casualties
A planned Russian strike targeting military-industrial facilities will result in countless civilian casualties, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in a new address.
He began his latest speech by saying that on a day recognized by Ukrainians as “Forgiveness Sunday,” there will be no forgiveness for Russia.
“We will not forgive shooting our people and destroying our infrastructure. Hundreds upon hundreds of victims, immeasurable suffering. God will not forgive this, not today, nor tomorrow, never,” Zelenskyy said.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday it will use high-precision weapons to destroy Ukrainian military-industrial facilities.
Zelenskyy warned those sites are in urban areas surrounded by civilian residences. “Hundreds of thousands of people live and work there,” he said. “This will be a premeditated murder, but today I haven’t heard any reaction from any world leader or any politician.”
He said Russia was openly announcing a “planned atrocity” in advance because there is no reaction from the international community.
“Well, I hope you’ll at least say something tomorrow when you’ll see it happened,” Zelenskyy said. “We know exactly how these attacks will be carried out, we know the full chain of command, we know everything, and we’ll forgive nothing.”

Around 600 Russian missiles launched since invasion began: US defense official
Approximately 600 Russian missile launches have taken place since the invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, a senior defense official said.
They could not corroborate any reports of the use of cluster munitions or thermobaric weapons.
Ukrainian air and missile defenses are still effective and in use, the official said, though the airspace over Ukraine is contested.
Both sides have taken losses to aircraft and missile defense inventories, the defense official added, and while they did not reveal exact numbers, they believe both Russia and Ukraine still have a majority of their air defense systems.
The official also said Russian forces are still trying to advance across the north and east of Ukraine but are being met with strong Ukrainian resistance. The convoy is still stalled.

Netflix cuts service to Russia
Netflix is the latest company to suspend service in Russia, joining a growing list of Western businesses cutting ties with Russia in protest over the invasion of Ukraine.
The popular streaming service said on Sunday that it is entirely shutting down its service in Russia.
“Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a Netflix spokesperson told ABC News.
Variety reported reported on Sunday that Netflix had four Russian original programs in the works, including a crime thriller series directed by Belarus-born director Darya Zhuk.
Netflix's decision follows a list of Western companies suspending operations in Russia. Movie studios Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures and Disney, the parent company of ABC News, have dropped future movie releases in Russia.
Ikea, Mastercard, Visa and American Express have also suspended services to Russia. Microsoft and Apple have ceased all sales, including game consoles and phones, in the country as well.

Senate approves $1.5 trillion funding bill with supplemental aid to Ukraine
The Senate passed a $1.5 trillion government funding bill late Thursday that includes $13.6 billion in supplemental aid to Ukraine by a vote of 68-31.
The legislation will now head to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature.
In a statement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki thanked leaders for "getting this bill done" and said Biden "looks forward to signing it into law."
"With these resources, we will be able to deliver historic support for the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and democracy," she said in part.
The supplemental Ukrainian aid is split between defense and nondefense funding. The $1.5 trillion also includes funding for many of the administration's priorities as well as sizable amounts for defense spending.
