The intensifying attacks on Ukrainian cities by Russian forces continue to dominate the front pages.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the first major Ukrainian city has fallen to the Russians, after the mayor of the strategically important city of Kherson said it was in enemy hands and Moscow planned to set up a "military administration" there. The paper says it means that Russia has now established a "bridgehead" from which its forces can cross the River Dnieper and head westwards and northwards to attack the capital Kyiv from a second direction.
President Zelensky has accused Russia of aiming to "erase" his country, the Guardian reports. The paper says Ukraine is facing a "growing humanitarian crisis", with the World Health Organization concerned about the provision of electricity, oxygen and medicines.Meanwhile, Russia has acknowledged heavy causalities of its own in Ukraine, saying 498 of its troops have died, with a further 1,597 injured, the Financial Times reports.
