The latest Sky News coverage of the Russia/Ukraine war:

We’re pausing our live coverage

We’re pausing our live coverage of the war in Ukraine for now – but here are the key developments you may have missed over the weekend. 

Russian forces intensified attacks on positions in eastern Ukraine.

In Bakhmut, Moscow is attempting to regain lost territory, the head of Ukraine’s ground forces wrote on social media at the weekend.

“Toward Bakhmut, the Russians have become more active and are trying to recapture previously lost positions. Enemy attacks are being repelled,” Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

Ukraine also reported Russian troops are attempting to surround Avdiivka, south of Bakhmut, which is considered to be a stronghold.

Elsewhere, Russia has shelled Kherson, in the southwest of Ukraine, officials claimed, 62 times across the weekend, injuring four civilians.

On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Ukrainians to prepare for new waves of Russian attacks on infrastructure over winter.

“Russia is preparing for Ukraine. And here, in Ukraine, all attention should be focused on defence, on responding to terrorists on everything that Ukraine can do to get through the winter and improve our soldiers’ capabilities,” he said in his nightly address.

The warning came after Ukraine claimed Russia fired its first missile strike on Ukraine in almost two weeks.

There have also been reports over the weekend, from The Washington Post, claiming a Ukrainian officer coordinated the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline – which carries gas into Europe from Russia – though the officer in question denied any involvement.
