Ukraine lunchtime briefing: UK claims Vladimir Putin invasion has made 'minimal progress' this week

Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has made "minimal progress" this week, according to British intelligence. It comes as missile strikes targeted the western city of Lviv earlier today.

Armed forces minister James Heappey said on Friday the early-morning attack on the city that has swelled with people sheltering from elsewhere in Ukraine showed Russia was broadening its strikes. Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said several missiles hit a facility for repairing military planes near the city's international airport and also damaged a bus repair site.

Shelling around the capital of Kyiv also continued as the number of refugees estimated to have fled exceeded 3.4 million.
