KYIV, Ukraine—Ukraine killed a third Russian general since Moscow’s invasion began more than two weeks ago, officials said Friday, as Russia repositioned its beleaguered forces in the north of the country in what Western officials worry is a prelude to a renewed attack on the capital.

Elsewhere, Russia’s military grappled for control over territory it nominally captured. On Friday, Russian forces kidnapped the mayor of the occupied southern city of Melitopol who had refused to cooperate with them and continued to fly a Ukrainian flag in his office.
