Russia claims new territorial gains in Ukraine, including the town of Pobeda near Donetsk. Ukraine finds itself in an “extremely difficult” position on the front, Volodymyr Zelensky admitted on Monday.
The war between Russia and Ukraine will enter its third year on Saturday. More than 14 million people have fled their homes in Ukraine at some point in the two years since Russia's invasion in 2022, with nearly 6.5 million still sheltering abroad, the UN says.
