A 35-hour-long curfew is in place in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv where shelling is said to be getting closer to the centre.
There has been fresh shelling of the city reported again overnight.
New assaults have also been reported on the southern city of Mariupol, where an estimated 20,000 civilians managed to flee through a humanitarian corridor yesterday.
However, a US defence official says Russian troops have made little progress around the country as a whole.
Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy's been visited in Kyiv by the prime ministers of Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, who all made the risky train journey there.
The Ukrainian president's conceded his country won't be allowed to join NATO.
He says talks with Russia are making progress but will take time.
Irishman Pierre Zakrzewski has been described as brave and heroic by those who knew him.
The Fox News cameraman was killed after being hit by incoming fire in the Ukrainian capital.
He is survived by his wife Michelle, his mother, and his five siblings.
Two of his brothers and his mother still live in Ireland.
His close friend Stephen O'Dea said he always had an adventurous spirit.
"He wanted to go an investigate the world and he left no stone unturned," added Mr O'Dea.
"He was just brave and heroic."
