ZELENSKY: WAR ‘MUST END WITH CRIMEA’: The explosions that sent huge plumes of smoke in the bright blue skies over an air base on the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula Tuesday caused widespread damage, killed at least one person, and were blamed by Russia on “violation of fire safety requirements.”

In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky implied the explosions were a strike against Russian forces but did not claim responsibility. “Today, there is a lot of attention to the topic of Crimea. And rightly so. Because Crimea is Ukrainian, and we will never give it up,” he said.
