Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska has issued a sobering warning to the world as the conflict enters its 18 month, in an exclusive interview with Independent TV. Speaking from the command centre in Kyiv, Ms Zelenska warned that her country is in desperate need of “faster” support to enable it to fight Vladimir Putin’s troops. “We keep hearing from our Western partners that they will be with us as long as it takes. ‘Long’ is not the word we should use. We should use the word ‘faster’,” she told Independent TV. “Ukrainians are paying for this war with the lives of our compatriots. The rest of the world pays with its resources. These are incomparable things, so we urge you to speed up this help,” she added.

Debris from drones fell in three districts of Kyiv overnight as anti-aircraft units worked to shoot down the aerial munitions, mayor Vitali Klitschko and other military officials said as air raid sirens returned in the capital, the surrounding region and most parts of the war-hit country. The residual drone had fallen in the central Solomianskyi district and a non-residential building had been damaged. Emergency services were on site, Mr Klitschko said. He added that the debris had also fallen in the Svyatoshyn district – further west – and that a tree had caught fire.
