As Ukraine heads into the twentieth day of the Russian invasion on its territory, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces has provided its daily morning update:

• Russian forces remain focused on maintaining their gains on Ukrainian territory, and have failed to make further advances
• However Russian troops have continued to launch missile and bomb attacks on critical infrastructure and are co-opting civilian infrastructure
• Russian soldiers have been using healthcare facilities in occupied territories to treat wounded personnel

• Four helicopters, one plane and a cruise missile belonging to Russia were struck down by Ukrainian forces
• Ukrainian units have managed to fend off Russian attempts to capture the heavily-contested southern port city of Mariupol and there have been no further signs of naval landings by Russian forces in the Black Sea region
• The moral and psychological state of Russian troops "remains low", with Russian servicemen apparently refusing to carry out commands

The BBC has not been able to verify these claims.
