• Ukraine claims dozens – including “senior Russian navy commanders” – died or were wounded in the attacks on naval headquarters in Sevastopol a day earlier.
• Moscow has not responded to the claim, saying at least one serviceman was missing after the attack, according to Russia’s Ministry of Defence.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has addressed Canada’s parliament after meeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who pledged additional aid for Ukraine.
