Russia-Ukraine war updates: UK sends war crimes experts to Ukraine, Russian missiles hit Kyiv - 10 points

While two Russian missiles struck Kyiv during a visit by the head of the United Nations, the West believes the battles for the besieged port of Mariupol and other areas in the east and south may determine the war's outcome

Kyiv: More than 60 days have passed since Russia launched its attack on Ukraine. Here are ten of the latest developments from the Ukraine-Russia war, as reported by Reuters:

1) Two Russian missiles struck Kyiv during a visit by the head of the United Nations, Ukrainian officials said, though the West believes the battles for the besieged port of Mariupol and other areas in the east and south may determine the war's outcome.

2) Moscow regards winning the "Battle for Donbas" as crucial if it is to achieve its stated objective of securing control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east, Britain's defence ministry said. "Fighting has been particularly heavy around Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, with an attempted advance south from Izium towards Slovyansk," it said on Twitter.

3) Ukrainian rescue workers on Friday recovered a corpse from the rubble of a building in Kyiv that was hit by a missile, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. The death was the first reported in Thursday's missile strike as the head of the United Nations visited Kyiv. Ukrainian officials said two Russian missiles had struck the capital. Russia has not commented on the incident.

4) Ukraine hopes on Friday (April 29) to evacuate civilians who are holed up in a vast steel works with the last fighters defending the southern city of Mariupol. "An operation is planned today to get civilians out of the plant," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy`s office said without giving details.
