From The Poynter Report with Tom Jones:

The crisis in Ukraine appears to be growing worse. While there was hope — perhaps faint, but still hope — that talks between delegations from Russia and Ukraine on Monday could lead to eventual peace, the situation looks as dire as ever. Ukrainians continue to put up a courageous fight, but Russia appears to have ramped up its attack.

On Monday night, the headline on The New York Times’ website blared: “RUSSIAN ROCKETS BATTER UKRAINE.”

CNN’s website said: “Large Russian military convoy reaches outskirts of Kyiv.” And The Wall Street Journal: “Ukraine Digs In as Russia Intensifies Attacks.”
