Mariupol has fallen.

The port city in the southeastern corner of Ukraine had arguably received the worst of shelling, bombing and attacks in this war, with much of the city reduced to ruble. A group of several hundred Ukrainian soldiers had been holding out inside of a massive steel plant, refusing to surrender. But now there's word that the last remaining Ukrainians have been evacuated ... and Mariupol is in Russian hands.

So that's one setback on the battlefield for Ukraine; but one doesn't have to look far for success stories. Up in Kharkiv, not only has the Ukrainian Army pushed back the Russians and recaptured territory ... they've managed to drive all the way to the Russian border.

We'll take a look at both battles and the current state of Russia's war in Ukraine as it is on the verge of entering its fourth month.
