Ongoing updates on Russia's conflict in Ukraine.

The UK Ministry of Defence has said that the chief of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, is "pushing the limits" of the Kremlin's tolerance of failure in the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, a convicted murderer who fought for Russia in Ukraine was arrested within days of returning home on suspicion of killing an elderly woman. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for approving a $15.6 billion loan to help rebuild his country's devastated economy. Zelensky also said that Russia's plan to place nuclear weapons in Belarus is proof that talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in March failed. Finally, the family of American detainee Paul Whelan is concerned for his well-being after he missed his usual daily call.
