Uncertainty over the fate of Admiral Viktor Sokolov is swirling after a new video appearing to show the Black Sea fleet commander was released today. Ukraine claims to have killed him in an attack on the fleet's HQ in Crimea in an attack on Friday.

Germany is"happy" about neutral Switzerland's decision to open the way to sell back some of its German-made Leopard II tanks to help rebuild stocks depleted by aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine will observe a moment of silence to remember soldiers on Sunday - which is Defenders of Ukraine Day.The moment of reflection will start at 9am and will be observed in central squares and streets across Ukrainian cities."All those who fight for the sake of the state. All those who add strength to Ukraine. All those who gave his life for the sake of Ukraine.

"The energy situation, with Russia that has created a gap of 150-160 billion cubic metres of gas, is still very volatile," Mr Descalzi said at an energy conference in Milan. If the footage is indeed new - and we don't know if it is - it appears to contradict Ukraine's earlier claim that he was killed in a missile strike on Russia's naval headquarters in Crimea. In the other video released by the ministry, a man who appeared to be Admiral Sokolov was shown attending - albeit via a remote video feed - a meeting chaired by defence minister Sergei Shoigu.

Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, chairman of Ukrenergo's management board, confirmed that the transmission network is prepared to handle winter energy loads, though electricity imports will be crucial, Ukrainska Pravda reports. The move, which introduced affordable Ukrainian wheat to the EU market, led to an oversupply in Poland and a sharp drop in local prices, causing frustration among farmers.

She said:"He told me that, 'Mom, I was scared to sit in the basement from 24 to 25 February and look children and women in the eyes'."Interethnic tensions within the Russian military in the western Zaporizhzhia Oblast are raising concerns about unit cohesion.
