Nato chief says Russia’s Donbas offensive has stalled, while UK intelligence says invasion force has lost a third of its strength
deployed in February, and its Donbas offensive had fallen “significantly behind schedule”.
Ukraine has scored a series of successes since Russia invaded on 24 February, reversing an advance on the capital, Kyiv, and in the last few days driving Russian forces out of Kharkiv in the east. Ukraine’s military said its troops had repelled 17 attacks on Sunday and destroyed 11 pieces of Russian equipment. The command of Ukraine’s air force said Ukrainian forces downed two helicopters, two cruise missiles and seven drones.
In western Ukraine near Poland, missiles destroyed military infrastructure and were fired at the Lviv region from the Black Sea, Ukrainian officials said. Brightly burning munitions were shown cascading down on the steelworks in a video posted by a pro-Russian separatist commander.
