Joe Biden has announced the United States is to send another billion dollars worth of military aid to Ukraine.
It will include heavy artillery weapons, ammunition and tactical drones, which will be sent "directly to the frontlines of freedom"
In developments in Ukraine overnight, Vladimir Putin has ordered his troops not to storm the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, where the last group of Ukrainian fighters in is holding out, instead ordering forces to seal it up so even a "fly" cannot escape.
Some civilians trapped for weeks in the city have been able to leave, but far fewer than hoped.
