Ukraine morning briefing: Austrian leader believes Putin thinks he is winning war

Austria’s chancellor Karl Nehammer said after meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow that the Russian president is "in his own war logic" over Ukraine. He told NBC in an interview that he thinks Mr Putin believes he is winning the war.

The politician was the first European leader to meet the Russian leader in Moscow since since the invasion was launched on February 24. He said: "We have to look in his eyes and we have to confront him with that, what we see in Ukraine".

Before arriving in Moscow last Monday, Mr Nehammer had visited Bucha, Ukraine, the town outside of Kyiv where graphic evidence of killings and torture has emerged following the withdrawal of Russian forces. The chancellor told Meet the Press that he confronted Mr Putin with what he had seen in Bucha, and "it was not a friendly conversation".
