As it happened: 900 civilians found dead in Kyiv region – chief of police - BBC News
The police chief of the Kyiv region says the remains of 900 civilians have been found after Russian troops pulled out.
The mayor of the port city of Odesa has told the BBC that one of the biggest threats in the Black Sea region has been taken away, after the Russian warship Moskva sank. The flagship carrier was destroyed after it suffered an explosion and fire.

Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov told me: "The Moskva cruiser had the most modern missile equipment. It was a big threat for us as it could have supported an attack by land if it happened here.”

The historic city of Odesa has Ukraine’s biggest seaport and has been living in fear of a full-scale invasion by Russia’s navy positioned offshore.

Even though the warship is now destroyed, Mr Trukhanov warned that the situation is still dangerous.

“Unfortunately, the enemy has missiles - not only those that were on the Moskva cruiser but also on the land, in Crimea too. We can see it, as there were attacks in Ukraine last night. They were done from the territory of Crimea.”

And there was another reminder of the threat from Russia. Rockets hit the coastal city of Mykolaiv to the east of Odesa. The army there told the BBC several civilians were killed or injured. There has been no comment from Moscow on the strike.
