BBC World Service - Newshour, Top Ukrainian official: We are ready to start a counter-offensive against Russian forces

Oleksiy Danilov says assault to retake territory from Russian forces could begin any day

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Ukraine is ready to launch its long-expected counter-offensive against Russian forces, one of the country's most senior security officials has told the BBC. Oleksiy Danilov would not name a date but said an assault to retake territory from President Vladimir Putin's occupying forces could begin "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week".

Also in the programme: A BBC investigation has seen evidence that both sides in Sudan's conflict could be carrying out war crimes on medical facilities and staff; and Henry Kissinger - one of the dominant figures in twentieth century US diplomacy - turns one- hundred today.
