President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has commented on media reports that the US, the UK and France have granted permission to use long-range missiles against Russian territory, saying that "the missiles will speak for themselves".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russia has launched 120 missiles and 90 drones in a large-scale attack across Ukraine targeting its energy infrastructure.

On the battlefields of eastern Ukraine, Russia is now advancing at the fastest rate since the war's earliest days in 2022.
