On the fourth day of the invasion, Lt Gen Yakov told Russian soldiers that they could achieve victory in a matter of hours, according to intercepted communications shared by Ukraine.

Senior officers are thought to have been placed closer and closer to the frontline as Russian troops suffer heavy losses and a serious drop in morale.
Rezantsev was killed at the Chornobaivka airbase near Kherson, which Russia was using as a command post, according to Ukrainian media.
