Russia's military forces kept up their punishing campaign to capture Ukraine's capital as residents of other besieged cities held out hope Monday Russian and Ukrainian negotiators held a new round of talks Monday as Russia's military forces bombarded Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine with a punishing assault that the Red Cross said has created "nothing short of a nightmare" for the country's civilians.
