In a phone call, French President Emmanuel Macron assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that his government would send light AMX-10 RC armoured combat vehicles.Mr Biden's move, however, would fall short of sending the Abrams tanks that Ukraine has sought. Fierce combat is likely to persist for the foreseeable future, although Russian forces have made incremental progress, the official said.

"According to Ukrainian military intelligence estimates, in the next four-five months, the Russian army may lose up to 70,000 people," Mr Cherniak said.Russian leaders "understand they will lose but they do not plan to end the war", he said.Russian Zircon hypersonic missile in the Atlantic
