Ukraine retains significant air control - UK

Update from UK ministry of defense

Kyiv still controls the majority of Ukrainian airspace after Russia has failed to fully destroy its air defences, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said in its latest update.

Qazet.az reports that Russian air activity is primarily focused on Ukraine's south and east. Moscow has limited access to the skies above northern and western Ukraine meaning it can only deploy its strikes from a safe distance.

In Mariupol, the UK says that Russian forces are using unguided free-falling bombs which are less accurate and more likely to result in civilian casualties.
