Updates from Sky News correspondents Deborah Haynes near Belarus border, Alex Rossi in Barvinkove, Mark Austin in Dnipro and Mark Stone on the Moldova-Transnistria border. Live reporting by Emily MeeA spokesperson for Ukraine's foreign ministry has paid tribute to a journalist killed in a missile attack in Kyiv. Oleg Nikolenko said she was"going to bed" when the Russian missile hit her apartment in the centre of the city.
"However, NATO has long clung to the old security concept, engaged in bloc confrontation, and become a tool for individual countries to seek hegemony," he said. He had been facing pressure from Western countries - including the UK - to exclude the Russian leader, but said he wanted to"unite" the G20. A diesel submarine stationed in the Black Sea has been used to strike Ukrainian military targets with Kalibr cruise missiles.
Russia's fleet in the Black Sea took a huge hit recently when the Moskva warship sank - something Ukraine claimed responsibility for. As we've been reporting, Russian missile strikes hit Kyiv last night while UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres was visiting the capital. Dr Mike Martin, a military expert and war studies visiting fellow at King's College London has offered some interesting analysis this morning on the recent developments on the ground in Ukraine and what they could mean.
However, he indicates Ms Truss is wrong to predict the goal of evicting Russian forces entirely from Ukraine would take 10 years - saying"Russian forces will collapse before that, and we'll see a coup".
