There is new hope in Ukraine after large swathes of territory occupied by Russian forces has been retaken.
Since the start of the month Ukrainian troops have made major gains in the northeast as part of a counter-offensive against the Russians.
President Zelenskyy has hailed it as a turning point in the conflict while the Russians have said their troops are regrouping as part of effort to bolster efforts on other fronts.
