Russia is continuing its offensive on a number of Ukrainian cities.

A second attempt to evacuate citizens from the city Mariupol has failed, with Ukraine blaming Russian shelling.

The United Nations says more than 1.5 million refugees have fled the country.

Newshub Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer in Lviv told Mike Hosking Putin's advances haven't been as efficient as he thought, and Ukrainian troops are quick to point out their successes.

“But Putin remains to have so much more strength than the Ukrainian army does, and he is showing no sign of slowing down.”
