Ukraine Liveblog: Trump: Selenskyj in Washington on Friday

In February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the attack on Ukraine. Since then, a bloody war has been raging in Eastern Europe. The Kremlin chief expected a quick victory, but not great resistance from the Ukrainians. There are daily missile and drone attacks - and discussions about new arms deliveries. You can find the most important news here in the live blog.

Ukrainian and Russian information on the course of the war and the number of injured and/or killed often cannot be verified at first. We use material from the news agencies dpa, AP and AFP as well as our editors' own research.
