Russia-Ukraine live updates: Battle for Kyiv intensifies

Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechnya region and an ally of Putin, says Chechen fighters have been deployed in Ukraine.

In a video posted online, Kadyrov claimed that units from the North Caucasus region – a constituent republic of Russia – had suffered no losses so far.

Turkey has banned Russian warships’ access to the Black Sea at Kyiv’s request, according to Zellensky.

The Ukrainian leader praised the move as “extremely important”, adding in a post on Twitter that the people of Ukraine would “never forget” Ankara’s support.
