Ukrainian troops have recaptured a string of villages in the north-east Kharkiv region over the last few days, with one video showing soldiers in Izium, a strategic city less than 150km south of Kharkiv.

Speaking in Mexico City, Blinken said the Ukrainian victories were partially thanks to the arms the US and allies had provided, but were primarily down to the 'extraordinary courage and resilience of the Ukrainian armed forces and the Ukrainian people'.
