STORY: The Ukrainian military said on Tuesday the previous 24 hours had been the deadliest of the war so far for Russian troops since Moscow launched its invasion almost a year ago.Ukraine increased its running tally of Russian military dead by 1,030 overnight.Reuters has been unable to verify that report, and Russia has also claimed to have killed large numbers of Ukrainian troops in recent weeks.

The Ukrainian leader said recent promises of heavy weapons from Europe and the United States could give Kyiv "parity" - but not an advantage - on the battlefield.
