Ukraine says it's inflicted 'heavy' losses on Russia after recapturing a city and airport
"The invaders did not achieve the ultimate goal of eleven days of occupation."
Russia wants Ukraine to cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent territories.The two sides are meeting together later for further talks.Among the Russian losses during the fighting were a lieutenant colonel in a Russian marine brigade and a lieutenant colonel in an air assault unit, the staff said.
A fresh UK Ministry of Defence [MoD] map makes clear the Russian invasion manoeuvres, with arrows demonstrating how forces on different axes are trying to encircle Kyiv, while the southern front has seen them take major gains. It has been particularly keen to portray its mission as a special military operation to "demilitarise" and "de-nazify" the country, while Western observes fear Putin wants to overthrow the democratically-elected government led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
