The ambassador of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic told Russia's RIA news agency the Lysychansk oil refinery was now fully controlled by Russian and pro-Russian forces, and all roads to Lysychansk were also under their control. Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying he could not rule out that tensions would emerge in Moscow's relations with Helsinki and Stockholm over their joining Nato.

Britain said it would provide another 1 billion pounds of military support to Ukraine, including air defence systems, uncrewed aerial vehicles and new electronic warfare equipment.As the 30 national Nato leaders were meeting in Madrid, Russian forces intensified attacks in Ukraine, including missile strikes and shelling on the southern Mykolaiv region close to front lines and the Black Sea.

"Where, why and what they targeted is unclear, yet. We are figuring out where they aimed because there are no military units in that area," Volodymyr Tymoshko, chief of Kharkiv region police told Reuters.
