The US Pentagon says there are signs Ukrainian forces are fighting back successfully in some areas. The situation on the ground remains fluid, but here is the latest we know.
The Ukrainian Defence Ministry says Ukraine’s forces have retaken Makariv, which is a town about 40 miles west of Kyiv.
Ukrainian flags are flying there once more, according to local authorities.
Russian forces were pushed back in farming town of voznesensk, where a combination of volunteers and Ukrainian troops delivered a blow to Russian plans.
First they blew up the bridge and then they manage to drive the invading army back, up to 100km, to the east.
Meanwhile, in Kherson, close to the Crimean peninsula and the first city to fall to Russia, Ukrainian forces are also trying to recapture territory.
