Russian troop advance into Ukraine largely halted - UK Ministry of Defence

The UK Ministry of Defence says Russia's invasion of Ukraine is largely halted on all fronts. According to the agency, the Russians are still suffering heavy losses.

"Russian forces have made minimal progress on land, sea or air in recent days and are still suffering heavy losses. Ukraine's resistance remains strong and well co-ordinated. The vast majority of Ukraine's territory, including all major cities, remains in Ukrainian hands," the ministry said in a Twitter post.

An earlier intelligence report said Russia was using older, less accurate weapons, less militarily effective and was involved in civilian casualties.
