What happened on Wednesday March 02, 2022?

Here's what happened on March 02, 2022:

• Russian Invasion Escalation Russian forces intensified their military offensive in Ukraine, significantly escalating shelling in civilian areas. A massive 40-mile convoy of Russian military vehicles stalled en route to Kyiv, raising concerns about potential plans to encircle and capture the Ukrainian capital. The most severe attacks targeted Kharkiv, with additional strikes on strategic ports like Odessa and Mariupol. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the emotional impact with his powerful statement: 'Nobody will forgive. Nobody will forget.'
• Russian Capture of Kherson Russian forces captured the city of Kherson during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, marking a significant milestone as Kherson became the only regional capital in Ukraine to fall under Russian occupation. This event initiated the establishment of a Russian military-civilian administration in the strategic southern city.
• UN General Assembly Resolution Against Russian Invasion In an emergency special session, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for Russia to immediately cease its invasion of Ukraine, demonstrating international diplomatic condemnation of the military action.
• ICC Investigates War Crimes in Ukraine The International Criminal Court announced the launch of a criminal investigation into potential war crimes committed in Ukraine since 2013, including those occurring during the ongoing Russian invasion.
• Ukrainian Air Force Engagement The Ukrainian Air Force reported destroying two Russian warplanes during an aerial battle over Kyiv. During the intense dogfight, a Ukrainian MiG-29 was also shot down, highlighting the fierce air combat occurring during the early stages of the Russian invasion.
• Conflicting Reports on Kherson Contradictory statements emerged regarding the status of Kherson. The city's mayor claimed it had fallen to Russian forces, while the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense disputed this, asserting that the battle was still ongoing.
• ECHR Suspends Proceedings Against Ukraine The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) suspended all ongoing judicial proceedings against Ukraine, likely in response to the extraordinary circumstances of the Russian invasion.
• Ukrainian Forces Recapture Makariv The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported successfully retaking the city of Makariv from Russian control, indicating ongoing resistance and counteroffensive efforts.
• China's Role in Russian Invasion Disputed Western intelligence reports suggested China had prior knowledge of the Russian invasion. China strongly denied these claims, characterizing them as attempts to blame and discredit the country.
