Ukraine-Russia war – live: Putin’s troops have not captured Bakhmut, Zelensky says
Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenksy has said Russia is not in control of Bakhmut. Speaking at the G7 summit in Japan, Mr Zelenksy said the city, in Ukaine’s eastern Donetsk-Oblast region, “is not occupied by [the] Russian Federation as of today”. “We don’t have simple questions any more, as well as we don’t have simple answers,” he added. “Because we have a very complicated neighbour, who is a criminal and terrorist, a complicated enemy. “We are keeping young, fighting thanks to the courage of our people, our warriors, and thanks to our cleverness. We are not throwing people to die.” His comments come after Russian president Vladimir Putin congratulated his troops after the Wagner Group claimed its mercenaries seized the key battle city on Saturday afternoon. Speaking alongside US president Joe Biden at the G7, Mr Zelensky said the Russians had destroyed "everything" in Bakhmut. In his own remarks, Mr Biden said Putin will not break the revolve of the West in its support for Ukraine.

Chelsea vs Arsenal LIVE: Women's Super League team news, line-ups and more
Follow The Independent's live coverage of all the action in the FA Women’s Super League today. The WSL is the top tier of English women’s football with international players from all over the world plying their trade in one of the most competitive and entertaining leagues around. Chelsea have won three of the past four titles and Emma Hayes’ side will be right in the hunt again, with the likes of Arsenal - champions in 2018-19 – and Manchester City, who have been runners-up for each of the past four seasons, among their competitors. With the top three sides qualifying for the UEFA Women’s Champions League, all 12 WSL teams have plenty to play for, although some clubs’ main ambition will simply be to avoid the drop. The side who finish bottom will be relegated to the FA Women’s Championship – a fate that befell Bristol City in 2020-21 – and newly-promoted Leicester City, competing in the top flight of the women’s game for the first time, will be eager to avoid an immediate return. We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
