Ukraine's president says Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine's territory, as the war nears its 100th day.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says that Russian forces have seized 20% of his country's territory, as Moscow's invasion nears its 100th day."All combat-ready Russian military formations are involved in this aggression," he told MPs via videolink.
Mr Haidai said Moscow's forces controlled around 80% of the city but Ukrainian troops had "carried out counter-attacks, pushing back the enemy on some streets and taking several prisoners". The fighting comes as the mayor of the occupied city of Mariupol accused Russian forces of executing civil servants who have refused to collaborate with the new Moscow-backed city authority.
Elsewhere, Russia wounded five civilians during missile strikes on cities in the Lviv region in western Ukraine, regional head Maksym Kozytskyi said.
