KYIV - Ukrainian officials shared photos on Saturday showing troops raising the nation's flag over the city housing the main railway hub that has supplied Russian forces in north-eastern Ukraine, as a collapse in Russia's frontline threatened to turn into a rout.

The soldiers are seen holding up a Ukrainian flag with a Russian flag at their feet and Ukrainian flags flying from city hall behind them. “The first function is to provide help that they need. The next job is to document the crimes committed by Russian invaders on the territories which they temporarily occupied.”

Moscow has acknowledged that its frontline has buckled in Kharkiv but has said it is rushing extra troops to reinforce the area. Mr Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukraine's presidential office, in a video posted on YouTube, said the Russians in Izium were almost isolated.
