The bulk of Russian forces advancing on Ukraine's capital Kyiv are more than 50km from the centre of the city, the UK's Ministry of Defence says.
Sharing its latest "Defence Intelligence" on Twitter, it adds that Russian armoured vehicles have opened up a new advance route towards the capital, having been unsuccessful in capturing Chernihiv, a city in the north of Ukraine.
It also says officials will continue to monitor reports of "sporadic clashes" between Russian troops and Ukrainians in the northern suburbs of the capital.
