The commander of Russian forces in Ukraine has admitted that the situation in the east of the country is “tense” as Ukrainian troops continue to advance in the Donbas region and towards the city of Kherson in the south.

Russian officals have told residents they should leave Kherson. They say they are expecting Ukrainian forces to launch an attack on the city “in the very near future”.

Ukrainian forces are also continuing their advance in the Donbas region around the key city of Lyman.

Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jonathan Beale and camera operator Lee Durant near Lyman.

    You can just tell how professional these soldiers are. Not panicking when receiving fire. Identifies area of threat, returns fire with controlled bursts.

  • Unbelievable reporting ❣ I will never get used to seeing these brave soldiers, reporters and filming crew risking death to show us what is going on on the frontlines. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦
  • The casual rapport between the troops and the reporters during the firefight is incredibly impressive. Imagine being so used to shootouts that when one starts you just calmly tell bystanders they ought to head out while returning fire
