It was reported that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited Chernihiv Oblast during a two-day visit to Ukraine, including the village of Yahidne, where Russian forces had held more than 300 people captive.
In Kyiv, Rutte visited one of the capital's combined heat and power plants that was damaged in a Russian attack.
Speaking in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament), Rutte said 90% of missiles for Ukraine's air defence have been delivered through the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) programme.
