• The head of Britain's Armed Forces last night insisted Russia has already 'strategically lost' the war in Ukraine – as the UK announced more backing for Kyiv and eastern Europe.

  Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said Russia was 'a more diminished power' capable only of 'tiny' territorial gains after nearly four months of fighting.

  It has effectively seized control of Ukraine's eastern regions, but at a huge cost, estimated to be a quarter of its military resources, he added. It is running out of troops and advanced missiles and would never be able to take over the remainder of the country. He spoke as the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace announced the UK has bought more than 20 M109 long-range guns to send to Ukraine. The Belgian-made weapons fire 155mm shells accurate up to 25 miles.

    Ukraine's Armed Forces Strategic Communications Directorate published the information on the Telegram app, alongside a video purporting to show the strike from the air.

    It shows what is thought to be an anti-ship missile striking the tug Vasily Bekh at 4am as it delivered soldiers, weapons, and ammunition to hotly-contested Snake Island.
