NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says Ukraine is still inflicting major losses on Russia, despite Kyiv not managing to regain captured territory. "Of course we would like them to to liberate as much territory as possible, as quickly as possible, but even though the frontline has not moved, the Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian invaders," he says.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says the mutiny by the mercenary Wagner Group in Russia shows that President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a "mistake". Speaking to reporters in Vilnius, Lithuania, Stoltenberg calls the now halted revolt "yet another demonstration of the big strategic mistake that President Putin made."
The anti-Kremlin Freedom of Russia Legion, which has claimed responsibility for an infiltration into Russian territory, has said it is "coming back home" in a video released on the Telegram social network.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is visiting Ukraine for the first time since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Stoltenberg pledged continued military support for Ukraine, saying that, so far, NATO allies had trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops and provided 65 billion euros of military aid alone. Ukraine's NATO membership bid and robust security guarantees will be high up on the summit's agenda.
