Russia-Ukraine war: What happened today Enlarge this image toggle caption Chris McGrath/Getty Images Chris McGrath/Getty Images As Monday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day: Evacuees from Mariupol and its besieged steel plant made their way toward safety. The Pentagon, meanwhile, has confirmed reports that Russia's top-ranking military officer, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, traveled to the front-line Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. Sponsor Message European Union energy ministers met in Brussels to discuss options for dealing with Russia's decision last week to stop delivering natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria. Sergey Lavrov referred to Adolf Hitler as having "Jewish origins" in response to a question about Russia's claim that it had invaded Ukraine to "denazify" the country, which has a democratically elected Jewish president.
