The city of Mariupol looks like it will be in Russian hands shortly after hundreds of the remaining Ukrainian soldiers were ordered to evacuate.

Heavy fighting has taken place in the regions of Donetsk and Lukansk, with attacks taking place in cities such as Avdiivka, Popasna, Krasnohorivka and Mariinka.

Refugees continue to pour into other countries such as Poland and England, with an estimated four million Ukrainian refugees leaving the country.
