KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy switched into Russian in his nightly video address to urge Russian soldiers not to fight in Ukraine, saying even their generals expected that thousands of them would die. ___ KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR: — Ukrainian forces fight Russia’s grinding advance in eastern Donbas region — Wives of Mariupol defenders appeal for soldiers’ evacuation from final holdout — Some Ukrainians go back across front line toward homes, despite dangers — Ukrainian women learn how to clear land mines at course in Kosovo — Angelina Jolie makes surprise Ukraine visit, meets children Follow all AP stories on Russia’s war on Ukraine at https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine ___ OTHER DEVELOPMENTS: STOCKHOLM — Sweden says a Russian military plane has violated Swedish airspace. ___ LONDON — Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson discussed the progress of the U.N. effort to evacuate people from the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol and “offered the U.K.‘s continued economic and humanitarian support” during a talk Saturday with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskky. ___ LVIV, Ukraine — The British military believes Russian forces in Ukraine are likely suffering from “weakened morale.” The British Defense Ministry made that assessment in a tweet Saturday as part of a daily report it provides on Russia’s war on Kyiv. The ministry added: “A lack of unit-level skills and inconsistent air support have left Russia unable to fully leverage its combat mass, despite localized improvements.” ___ WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. defense official said Friday the Russian offensive is going much slower than planned in part because of the strength of the Ukrainian resistance.
