Russia-Ukraine war latest: more than 3.5 million people have fled Ukraine, says UN

 More than 3.5 million people have fled Ukraine since the war began in late February, said the UNHCR on Tuesday.

People clean a room in an apartment building destroyed during an air raid, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The latest UN figures came a day after Ukraine said that up to 12 million people had been driven from their homes by the Russian invasion as officials in central Europe said they were reaching full capacity to look after refugees.

Ukraine's major cities again came under heavy bombardment from Russian artillery and air strikes on Tuesday. The southern city of Mariupol has been largely destroyed but remained in Ukrainian control as of Tuesday afternoon.

Russian forces have largely "stalled" and made limited progress on Monday, reported British defence intelligence, with Ukraine claiming to have retaken the key town of Makariv outside Kyiv early Tuesday. However, Ukraine also said that Russian forces had made inroads in Kyiv's northwest suburbs.

Image
UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will unveil a mini-budget on Friday, which aims to break the “cycle of stagnation” in the British economy. The “fiscal event,” as it is officially known, will announce tens of billions of pounds of increased spending and tax cuts. Prime Minister Liz Truss said the plan will create more jobs, release extra funding for public services and lead to higher wages. “The Chancellor @KwasiKwarteng and I know what a great country this is,” she wrote on Twitter. “Our Growth Plan will unleash our potential and deliver better jobs, more funding for public services and higher wages for the British people. “The action starts now.” Mr Kwarteng is expected to tell the House of Commons: “Growth is not as high as it needs to be, which has made it harder to pay for public services, requiring taxes to rise.
