Russian troops have captured the Ukrainian port city of Kherson. Kharkiv, the second largest city, still faces bombings. Here is a list of cities that are under Russian troops and cities that are still standing.
The Russian military has claimed it has captured Ukraine's first major city - the strategic southern port of Kherson - in its week-long attack. Russia intensified bombings throughout the country, around Kharkiv, the second largest city and capital Kyiv.
Who controls what?
Kherson: Kherson Mayor Igor Kolyakhev said on Wednesday that Russian troops are in the city and have come to the city administration building. He said he told them not to shoot civilians and allowed them to collect bodies from the streets.
Kherson, a city of 300,000, is strategically located on the banks of the Dnieper River, where it flows into the Black Sea. If Russian troops capture the city, they can open the water canal and restore water supply to the Crimean peninsula.
Fighting in the Kherson region began last Thursday, the first day of the offensive, and by the next day Russian forces were able to take down a bridge that connects the city to the west bank.
Kharkiv: Invading forces fired rockets into the center of the country's second largest city on the sixth day of the offensive. The largely Russian-speaking city of Kharkiv, near the Russian border, has a population of about 1.4 million. It has been a target for the Russian military since President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine last Thursday.
Kyiv: A huge Russian armored column fell on Tuesday in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Russian troops have surrounded the capital and are continuing to bombard. The city has been cut off from food, water and other basic supplies.
Chernihiv and Mariupol: Russian forces have surrounded and bombed Mariupol. However, according to British military intelligence, both are under the control of Ukraine.
Melitopol: The Russian army captured Melitopol on Friday.
Russia said it would proceed with its military advances in Ukraine.
Russia's weeks-long invasion was condemned by the United Nations in a historic vote and dozens of countries referred Moscow for investigation for possible war crimes.
