After days of being stalled, Russia's military could be as close as nine miles (15km) from the city centre - and the US estimates that Russia has fired more than 775 missiles since the beginning of the invasion.

• Chernihiv is now isolated, but the Russian military has not moved past this city - with heavy fighting still reported, and Ukrainians fighting backThe unidentified official also said that, while Ukraine still has most of its fixed-wing fighter aircraft available, these are not being used very much.
Russia, meanwhile, is relying on long-range fires, bombardment from aircraft and mobile launchers on the ground, with the US saying that this is due to their lack of achievement on the ground. "This will reduce the number of forces available to continue their advance and will further slow Russian progress."
