Here are the latest developments on day 12 of the invasion:

- Russia said civilians could leave, but mainly on routes to Belarus or Russia itself.
- Hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in cities under heavy bombardment.

Russia launched its attack in the early hours of 24 February from three main directions: north, south and east.

Targets all over the country have been attacked from land, sea and air.
