More now from President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has vowed to "liberate" all of Ukraine's territories that are occupied by Russia without "any concession or compromise".
"We don't care what army you have, we only care about our land. We will fight for it until the end," he said in a video address today.
He says they will reclaim the eastern Donbas region and Russian-occupied Crimea, "however difficult the path may be".
"For us, Ukraine is the whole of Ukraine. All 25 regions, without any concession or compromise," he adds.
It comes after Zelensky told representatives of around 60 countries and international organisations at a virtual summit on Crimea yesterday that Ukraine would drive Russian forces out of the peninsula by any means necessary.
The United States will announce $3bn in fresh military aid to Kyiv as Ukraine marks its Independence Day, as well as the six-month anniversary of the Russian invasion.
The announcement from the White House is expected later today, a US official confirmed, and comes after Washington warned that Moscow could be planning strikes on major civilian targets in Ukraine around its national holiday.
The military funding will help Ukraine acquire more weaponry, ammunition and other supplies for its armed forces, the Associated Press reports.
It would mark the biggest single military aid package from the US to help Ukraine after it already provided more than $10bn in aid to Kyiv since the start of the war.
Ramping up military aid would only happen if the collective West sensed weakness and opportunity.
So, we are clearly in that window.
Cav's bet is a slam dunk !
