The war in Ukraine continued to escalate on Saturday as Vladimir Putin's invading troops sought to assert dominance after initial setbacks.

"An outgunned but resilient Ukrainian military is adopting a two-prong strategy in the face of a flawed but fierce Russian assault, relying on hit-and-run tactics and the fortification of major cities as President Vladimir Putin’s campaign enters a more perilous phase," The Washington Post reported, citing "military experts."

The Ukrainians may have to trade land for time to preserve Kyiv.

Cities were destroyed when the Russians reorganized and we're able to fight back.

Make them fight for every inch to buy time. Finland gave up some territory, moved 400,000 people to preserve their country...
