UN chief Antonio Guterres is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow later today for talks.
The talks are expected to focus on the besieged city of Mariupol. Ukraine has asked Guterres to guarantee a humanitarian corridor to evacuate civilians.
Talks come as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned of the “real” threat of World War Three breaking out
He had earlier also said there was a “considerable” risk of the conflict escalating to nuclear weapons
But Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba responds that Lavrov is just trying to “scare the world off supporting Ukraine”
Russia earlier said it had destroyed six substations powering Ukrainian railways used to transport foreign weapons
About 15,000 Russian troops have been killed since Russia invaded Ukraine, UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says
