Daily Mail: The invasion of Ukraine – city-by-city: Russians enter the crucial port city of Mykolaiv, Mariupol is pummelled by constant shelling and 15,000 troops regroup for Kyiv onslaught 

* Russia is making further gains with troops entering the southern port city of Mykolaiv near Kherson 

* After nine days of fighting, Kyiv is still under Ukrainian hands but is being subjected to intense bombardment 

* Europe's largest nuclear power plant, at Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine, was attacked by Russian troops overnight 

Vladimir Putin's forces have made further gains in Ukraine, seizing control of a nuclear power plant and reducing cities to rubble as Volodymyr Zelensky desperately battles to save his country from the invading forces on the ninth day of fighting. 

Russian troops attacked the Zaporizhzhia plant in the early hours of Friday, with CCTV capturing a fierce gun battle that sparked a fire in a six-storey training building just outside the main complex. 

Warships are still poised off the coast of Odessa, while the port city of Mykolaiv, near Kherson which was the first city claimed by Russia, is feared to be the next under Putin's control.
