Ukrainian soldiers have been welcomed into Kherson by jubilant residents, after Russia said it had fully withdrawn from the key southern city.

A second attempt to evacuate civilians from the besieged southern city of Mariupol has failed - with both sides once again blaming each other for breaking the ceasefire. The Red Cross said the two sides had not agreed on the details of how the evacuation would take place.

Kyiv on Thursday asked the UN Human Rights Council to hold an urgent debate on human rights in Ukraine "stemming from the Russian aggression", the United Nations said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the "imminent" threat of Russian military action in Ukraine justifies evacuating the US embassy in Kyiv.
