Friday 22 April 2022 – Russia has revealed for the first time that the goal of its invasion is to take “full control” of southern Ukraine as well as the eastern Donbas region and establish a land corridor connecting Russia to Crimea, the peninsula it annexed in 2014. Fighting continued Friday in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Tavriya, Ukraine’s armed forces said, as Russia also launched air strikes on Mariupol. Ukrainian officials say they have identified new mass graves outside the besieged southeastern port city. New satellite images support their claims. Meanwhile, Putin has said the effort by Russian forces to capture Mariupol was a “success” but ordered troops to stop short of trying to storm the Azovstal steel plant, which is still held by Ukrainian forces. No evacuation corridors were agreed upon in Ukraine Friday with the Russians due to “danger on the routes,” the Ukrainian deputy prime minister said.
