Russian forces called in air strikes on a besieged steel factory in the southern city of Mariupol as part of an assault meant to dislodge the last Ukrainian troops holding out in the strategic port, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would meet in Kyiv with two top American officials later in what was the 60th day since the invasion began.Zelenskyy gave few details about the logistics of his upcoming talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, but told reporters he expected results — "not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons."It would be the first high-level US trip to Kyiv since before the war began on February 24. While visiting Poland in March, Blinken stepped briefly onto Ukrainian soil to meet with the country's foreign minister. Zelenskyy's last face-to-face meeting with a US leader was February 19 in Munich with Vice President Kamala Harris.
