President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was just the beginning - and Moscow has ambitions to capture other nations
Russia has shifted a dozen crack units from the shattered port of Mariupol, redeploying them on the eastern battlefront, as Ukraine said it managed to bring supplies to the city's besieged Azovstal steel works.
But Ukraine's security chief Oleksiy Danilov said a night-time helicopter delivery brought weapons to the steel mill. It comes after Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu declared that the country intends to introduce new methods of warfare, with the conflict now entering its 59th day. UK military intelligence suggested this was a"tacit admission" that the war is not progressing as Vladimir Putin hoped.
Moldova's foreign ministry has summoned Moscow's ambassador to express"deep concern" about these comments, which suggested the country's Russian-speaking population was being oppressed."Moldova ... is a neutral state and this principle must be respected by all international actors, including the Russian Federation."'Realistic possibility' of long war says PM
President Putin has declared victory in the battle for Mariupol and has ordered his forces not to storm the plant. Instead, he told them to seal it off so those inside would have no choice but to surrender.
