Russia expanded its missile strikes to Lviv in the west of Ukraine as British intelligence suggested Vladimir Putin’s invasion had made only “minimal progress” this week.

UK armed forces minister James Heappey said on Friday the early-morning attack on the city that has swelled with people sheltering from elsewhere in Ukraine showed Russia was broadening its strikes.
