If you’re just joining us, or need a recap, here’s a look back at the day’s events in Ukraine and Brussels.

A new Russian offensive… is feared by Nato officials. The eastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmut continues to endure steady Russian bombardments, as do other towns along the frontlines of the war in the Donetsk region.

Ammunition… became the main talking point at a Nato meeting in Brussels, where member nations are discussing what more can be done to assist Kyiv. An expert told us why ammo may be on people’s minds.

Following that meeting… US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said he expected Ukraine to launch an offensive against Russia in the spring. Responding to recent media reports, he also said he had not seen Moscow “massing its aircraft” in readiness for a larger aerial attack.

America’s top general… used the same press conference to criticise Russia. Mark Milley said President Putin was “wrong” to believe he could defeat Ukraine quickly. He added that Russia had “lost strategically, operationally and tactically” and was “paying an enormous price on the battlefield”.

Russia hit out… by criticising the meeting of Western defence officials earlier, calling Nato “hostile”.

Next up, we’re due to hear more from Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg. Stay tuned for that.
