• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia would "go further" than his country's eastern Donbas region if given the chance, as he appealed for more weaponry from Western nations.
• Amnesty International has accused Russia of war crimes during its efforts to capture the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, documenting the alleged use of cluster munitions and other indiscriminate means of attack.
