  • Zelensky tells G7 summit Russia does not occupy Bakhmut - BBC News

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted Bakhmut "is not occupied" by Russia after a Moscow-backed mercenary group had claimed control.

    Ukraine's president was speaking during a scene-stealing visit to Hiroshima, Japan, for the G7 summit.

    Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin had earlier claimed victory in Bakhmut.

    But Ukrainian military sources told the BBC they still had control of a handful of buildings on the outskirts of the city.

  • Why Ukraine's Kraken special forces are Putin's nightmare | Russia Ukraine update

    The Ukrainian soccer fans who became Putin's nightmare | Russia Ukraine update | Before Russia invaded Ukraine they were a collection of football ultras, right-wing agitators, and veterans of the notorious Azov Battalion.

    Now, they are crack soldiers and part of one of Ukraine’s best fighting units called Kraken. Putin’s propagandists call them Neo-Nazis, and they have faced accusations of harbouring far-right fanatics and war crimes - all of which they deny.

    But to ordinary citizens this controverisal unit are simply the Defenders of Kharkiv who spearheaded Ukraine’s stunning counter-attack out of the city last year, guardians of Bakhmut where they helped keep the road of life open, and veterans of shadowy undercover operations from the south of Ukraine all the way to the Russian border.

    They have been praised by President Zelensky himself, and serve under the direct command of Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian military intelligence.This is the story of Kraken’s rise from obscurity to become one of the country’s best-known fighting units.

  • Ukraine's counter-offensive in the northern Kharkiv region has put the Kremlin on the back foot, Western analysts and politicians have said.

    The Ukrainian military is now trying to consolidate those recent gains.
