Damaged buildings and Irpin River flooding seen in new satellite image
- The Russian issued deadline for Mariupol authorities to surrender the city passed at 5 a.m. Moscow (10 p.m. ET Sunday), with Ukrainians rejecting the ultimatum.
- At least eight people were killed in a Russian attack on a Kyiv shopping center.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he's open to negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but if they fail, it could result in a wider war.
- US President Joe Biden and fellow world leaders will hold a set of emergency summits in Europe this week. But few observers believe anything they can agree upon will be enough to end the bloodshed in Ukraine. Biden has "no plans" to visit Ukraine, the White House said.

Re: Damaged buildings and Irpin River flooding seen in new satellite image
It has been reported that a dam along the Dnieper River was flooding the Irpin River basin and its tributaries.
The Irpin River is critical to the Russian advance toward Kyiv; if the Russians cannot cross it, they can't take Kyiv from the west.
It's unclear how the dam began flooding the Irpin River basin: whether the gates were opened on purpose by the Ukrainians to flood the area, or it was hit by a military strike.
