Russia-Ukraine war live: Russia claims it is closing in on Chasiv Yar as Zelenskiy warns Moscow is planning major push

Russia’s defence ministry says it has captured the settlement of Bohdanivka, near the fortified hilltop town in eastern Ukraine

Russia now has grounds to confiscate western assets after the US House of Representatives passed legislation that would allow the potential transfer of seized Russian assets to Ukraine, a senior Russian lawmaker has said.

“Washington has passed a law on the confiscation of Russian assets in order to provoke the EU to take the same step, which will be devastating for the European economy,” Vyacheslav Volodin, the Duma speaker and close ally of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, said.
