Russia's defence ministry has said that an offensive push by its forces had yielded the capture of Hrianykivka, a village in Ukraine's Kharkiv region
A briefing note from Ukraine's General Staff earlier on Saturday said the village was being shelled, but made no mention of an assault.Ukrainian soldiers fighting to hold off a Russian push on the small eastern city of Bakhmut are also pleading for more weapons from the outside world..
Meanwhile, blasts have wounded two civilians and shattered several hundred windows in the west Ukrainian city of Khmelnytskyi, as Russia fired missiles from the Black Sea. Ukraine's air force said Russia launched four Kalibr missiles from the sea, two of which were shot down by air defences. It comes as the Biden administration formally concluded that Russia has committed"crimes against humanity" during its nearly year-long invasion of Ukraine, US Vice President Kamala Harris has said.
Britain have also offered to help other countries which were willing to send aircraft to Ukraine now, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said. Mr Sunak urged allies to maintain their support in the war against Russia.
