Ukrainian intelligence officials say President Zelenskyy's military has destroyed Russia's 'Triuf' air defence system in what is reportedly the second strike on occupied Crimea in recent days.
Russia's Defense Minister says that the Ukrainian army's resources are "almost exhausted". Speaking at a security conference in the Moscow region, Sergei Shoigu adds that Kyiv is "failing to achieve results," despite the "total support" from Western countries.
Russia on Thursday (April 21) claimed to have taken control of the strategic Ukrainian port of Mariupol after more than seven weeks of fighting that reduced most of the besieged city to rubble. But "the Ukrainians certainly are not admitting it. There has been no announcement from the Ukrainian armed forces or from the government of Mariupol having fallen", says FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg.

According to Lviv mayor Andriy Sadovyi three warehouses were destroyed and one person was killed. Ukraine says its air defence systems had downed 27 Shahed drones launched overnight in Russia's latest aerial barrage. "A total of 30 attack UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) were launched... As a result of combat work, 27 Shaheds were shot down by air defence units," the Ukrainian air force said on social media. IMAGES
