Here is a summary of today's developments:
Russia is outgunning Ukrainian forces sixfold on the front lines, causing losses of troops and positions, Ukraine’s recently appointed commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky said in a rare interview published on Friday.
Ukraine has received a $1.5 billion (£1.19 billion) tranche of funding under a World Bank programme, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Friday, helping it pay for its budget and social spending as it defends itself against the Russian invasion.
Nato member Romania said it had found fragments of what appeared to be a drone on a farm near the river Danube and the border with Ukraine late on Thursday.
Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said in a statement that energy facilities in six Ukrainian regions had been attacked in Russian missile and drone attacks.
Ukraine’s foreign minister concluded his visit to New Delhi on Friday after talks on bolstering trade and the war with Russia, India’s traditional ally.
India has shied away from explicit condemnation of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, even as it has pursued greater security ties with the United States.
But Indian foreign minister S. Jaishankar said on social media that talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba had “reiterated our commitment to strengthen the overall relationship with Kyiv”.
“Our immediate goal is to get trade back to earlier levels,” he added.
