The Ukrainian military says they have eliminated another Russian colonel in the war against them.
The commander of the 200th motorized rifle brigade, Colonel Denis Kurilo, was killed outside of Kharkiv.
At least seven Russian generals were killed in Ukraine, according to both Ukrainian and Western officials.
The northeastern town of Trostyanets was liberated from Russian troops by the Ukrainian military, as well as several areas outside of Kyiv. The military said territories in the region were also freed.
The mayor of the town of Irpin, which has been decimated by Russian bombs, said that Russian forces had been completely pushed out.
He said that some of the bodies of those killed by Russian troops had been mined.
Russia's Defense Ministry decided Tuesday to reduce the number of troops in the area.
The troop reductions were described by the Putin adviser who was appointed the head of the Russian delegation at the Istanbul peace talks.
CNN's JimSciutto reported that Russia had begun to withdraw troops from around the capital.
The administrative building of Mykolaiv was struck by missile fire early Tuesday. Local authorities said at least seven people were killed in the strike.
A court-mandated auditor will now have to provide detailed reports on how much is left after the Trump Organization refused to turn over evidence of alleged financial fraud.
In the next few weeks, investigators will be able to figure out whether to file a lawsuit against the former president after Judge Arthur F. Engoron ordered a digital forensics company that is already helping the Trump Organization identify evidence to be more explicit in its progress reports.
I don't just want more meat. I want to know more about these searches. I want detailed reports. This investigation is winding down. We want this to end for a number of reasons.
The New York AG and her investigators have been fighting with the Trump Organization. Eric Trump refused to testify until the judge ordered him to plead the Fifth 500 times. The company refused to comply with the judge's order to turn over most records.
The judge stepped in to order Trump and his two other children to sit down and answer questions when they refused to show up for depositions in January. The last decision is on appeal.
HaystackID was retained by the Trump Organization to help sort through records, but it is now being questioned as to whether it is a neutral player. The reports haven't been helpful.
The judge's law clerk let her know that she was disappointed when the judge asked to hear directly from John Wilson.
I took a look at the reports you have provided and they were bare bones. The judge's principal law clerk said that the reports you gave didn't offer much information.
Haystack auditors are still trying to locate a cell phone that belonged to a Trump Organization lawyer. It is not clear if other company employees have devices that investigators will want to get their hands on.
After taking a break, the judge ordered the auditor to make weekly, detailed reports and wrap up the evidence search in late April. He was concerned that if this drags on, it might be for nothing.
The clock is not running.
The AG's office has been able to freeze time on New York's statute of limitations due to the fact that many of the Trump Organization's financial shenanigans stretch back six years or more. The signed deal expires at the end of April, so investigators want to look through all the evidence before then.
Austin Thompson said in court that the former president's company was to blame for the "days, months, start to add up and become significant."
The AG's investigation looks like it is the last chance for New York law enforcement to hold the former president and his company accountable.
The Trump Organization's lawyers argued in court on Monday that the judge was tacking on more work and cost for the company.
We want to finish this. Their investigation continues to grow. The tentacles are all over the place.
The company is struggling to keep up with the many investigations and acknowledged the existence of a probe by the Westchester District Attorney who is examining the finances of Trump's 18-hole golf course in the suburbs just north of New York City.
There are only so many in-house resources that the organization has.
The judge agreed that this would cost more money.
Sources have told The Daily Beast that Trump privately lamented the ballooning costs of dealing with multiple investigations in Georgia, Manhattan, Washington, and elsewhere, and complained that his enemies will be suing him for the rest of his life.
