Now the primary focus seems to be around Donetsk and Luhansk, where parts of the territory would be under pro Russian rebels. (Al jazeera for rebels in those places info)
There have also been civilian deaths due to shelling in that territory.
Japan has initiated plans to improve defense ties with the US due to the Russian invasion.
Partial/limited SWIFT sanctions have been placed on Russia targeting specific banks.
Starlink satellite has been activated in Ukraine so complete loss of internet access shouldn't be a problem.
Ukrainian UN ambassador has requested red cross to collect Russian soldiers dead bodies so the families back home can know what happened. Further moral victory for Ukraine
Ukraine and Russia have signed agreement to not frick over the nuclear reactors.
That is all I am aware of.

Russia literally cannot take Kyiv, they can't afford it. Notice this whole invasion is with T-72's and shitty old aircraft with unguided bombs? THEY LITERALLY CAN'T AFFORD ANY REAL EQUIPMENT. Russia was never strong, it was just a paper tiger this whole fricking time... and now they are going to starve.

Russia hasn't even sent their 30-year old T-90s
Edit: looks like they have sent them ... to the afterlife

This is what surprises me most tbh. Though they may also not be rolling out the big guns since this is an invasion, not war, and they seem to be minimizing civilian casualties.
If it was war why not just fricking Blitzkrieg over Kyiv?

Exactly what happened with Iraq - suddenly countries like China, Russia and Iran got bolder because they realised "holy shit, Americans can't even control Afghanistan or Iraq?!" - it seems so much money is literally being poured into the "gorillion dollar potty seats and screwdrivers and announcing new planes that will have cooler flame decals and flashing LEDs"...but there may not be any truly overwhelming militaries around...

I assume you legitimately think I was referring to 1991 Gulf War, not the 2003 invasion of Iraq - as your criticism may make sense there.
If you knew I was referring to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, you're r-slurred.
