The UK Government has been condemned by French president Emmanuel Macron for failing to live up to its "grand statements" on helping Ukrainian refugees.
His comments came as the Government intends to further ramp up pressure on the Kremlin.
In an update on Saturday morning, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said fighting to the north-west of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv continued, with the bulk of Russian ground forces now about 25 kilometres from its centre.
