Russian military have been accused of holding 150,000 people captive in the besieged Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, while desperate local officials ration drinking water to trapped citizens.

Mariupol has been described as a “cold hellscape littered with dead bodies and demolished structures.”

Animal rights activists have staged a dramatic rescue of a lion and a wolf from a war-torn Ukrainian zoo.

US Vice President Joe Biden has arrived in Brussels for Nato and EU talks. He will then travel to Poland.

Russian President Vladimir Putin still intends to attend the G-20 summit in Indonesia later this year.
One month of war, still defiant. With its government still standing and its outnumbered troops battling Russian forces to bloody stalemates on multiple fronts, Ukraine is scarred, wounded and mourning its dead but far from beaten.
