Russia resetting its forces

The UK's Ministry of Defence has released its daily assessment of the fighting in Ukraine.

Qazet.az reports that it says Ukrainian forces have conducted "localised" counter attacks north west of Kyiv with some success, with the Russians pushed back from a number of positions.

But the MoD warns that Russian forces still pose a significant threat to the capital through its strike capability.

In the south, the MoD says Russia has maintained its offensive on Mariupol with heavy shelling but says Ukrainian forces still control the city centre.
