Putin is failing in Ukraine, says Nato chief

Nato's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has been holding a news conference ahead of a meeting of the alliance in Brussels
tomorrow.

He said Nato would step up its support for Ukraine "so that they [Ukrainians] can continue to defend themselves and liberate
territories from Russian occupation."

"Ukraine has the momentum and continues to make significant gains, while Russia is increasingly resorting to horrific and
indiscriminate attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure," he said.

"President Putin is failing in Ukraine," he added.

But he also warned that the Russian President's "attempted annexations, partial mobilisation and reckless nuclear rhetoric"
represent the most significant escalation since the start of the war.

We're told that the meeting of G7 leaders to discuss the Ukraine war has now finished.

A statement setting out what was discussed is expected to be released, and we'll bring you news of that as soon as we have it.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the group, and said they must respond to Russia's bombing of his country's
energy infrastructure with a price cap on oil and gas experts from Russia.

He's released a statement on the Telegram messaging app, saying there must be "zero profit for the terrorist state".

He also ruled out talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
