Following Russia's retreat from areas around the Ukrainian capital, signs of normal life have returned to Kyiv, with residents taking advantage of shortened curfew hours, businesses reopening, and foreign countries returning their diplomats.

Invading Russian forces meanwhile target residential areas in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second larget city.

In recent days, Russian troops have been attacking Ukrainian troops in the northern suburbs of Kharkiv.
