The Russian Defence Ministry said it has thwarted an attempted Ukrainian "terrorist attack" on Moscow. Here's the latest territorial situation on the ground. Ukrainian forces are now seven weeks into their counteroffensive, with the US saying they have taken back around 50% of the territory Russia initially seized. A member of the Wagner mercenary group told the BBC he and his fellow fighters "didn't have a clue" what was going on during the armed rebellion in Moscow.Vladimir Putin said Ukraine's counteroffensive "has failed" as he hosted Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko for talks in St Petersburg.Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised Ukraine would retaliate against Russian attacks on Odesa.Here are the other key events you need to know from the last 24 hours: The port city has come under a barrage of attacks over the last week, as Kyiv continues to accuse Moscow of targeting food export facilities after abandoning the grain deal.

Overnight, Russia's defence ministry claimed to have thwarted a Ukrainian "terrorist attack" on Moscow after downing two drones - we'll bring you more on that shortly. Welcome back to our live coverage of the war in Ukraine. "A lot of his rhetoric about 'a storm is coming' is him trying to prepare the international community for the fact that it's not over yet. "We've had President Zelenskyy vowing retribution again for the attacks on Odesa, but the harsh reality from President Zelensky's perspective is the spring offensive is not really going as swiftly as he would have liked," Bell said. There have also been more attacks on the port city of Odesa, which has been pounded by Russia over the last week as the Black Sea grain deal, which gave it some protection, came to an end. "So we'll have to wait and see as the news comes out about what's actually happened in Moscow." "They always seem much more credible to me because the Ukrainians have been regularly attacking the peninsula of Crimea, sometimes quite successfully," he said. "At the moment, there's very little we can tell about the attack," Bell added, noting there's also been overnight strikes on Crimea. He explained there are a lot of reasons why Russia would want to "engineer a sense of a fortress" around the capital, and if Ukraine was going to mount a drone attack they would "do it better than this". More now on the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, with our military analyst Sean Bell saying he is taking everything Russia is saying with a "massive pinch of salt". Moscow later warned it would treat all Ukraine-bound ships as carrying military equipment, and it would take appropriate action against them. The claim came a week after Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal, which had enabled Ukraine to export grain from its blockaded ports safely. It did not the name the vessel, but said it had been inspected in the Kerch Strait and was banned from continuing its journey. "These circumstances may indicate the possibility of using the foreign civilian ships to deliver explosives to the territory of Ukraine," it said in a statement. While in Turkey earlier this month, the ship changed its name and replaced its crew, which had been made up of 12 Ukrainian nationals, the FSB said. The ship had been docked in the Ukrainian port of Kiliia in May, and may have been used to deliver explosives to the country, it reported.
