Russian troops have reached the outskirts of the Ukrainian city of Toretsk - an anchor of Kyiv's defences in the Donetsk region. The city's capture could bring closer the prospect of Moscow securing the entire Donbas.
The UK should be 'out in front' in terms of supporting Ukraine, Boris Johnson has said, adding he would approve the use of British weapons against Russian targets by Kyiv. Speaking with Sky presenter Wilfred Frost, the former prime minister discussed a number of angles of the conflict, from leaders to weapons.
'He has recruited the rest of the world, a huge proportion of the rest of the world ,' Mr Johnson said. He said as a result comparisons could be made between the embattled President Zelenskyy and Winston Churchill - one he has made in the past.Turning to Western weapons, Frost asked him whether he would allow the use of British munitions against targets inside Russia. 'I would if it was technically possible to give him the ability to do what he needs to do,' he said.
