LAST UPDATE: 11.30

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that 4,500 Russian soldiers have been killed so far in fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.

According to Reuters, Zelensky sent a message to the Russian soldiers, telling them “save your lives and leave”. He also said that Ukraine would release prisoners with military experience if they were willing to take part in the fight against Russia.

The Ukrainian president also asked the European Union to allow Ukraine to join immediately with a special procedure, as the country defends itself against the invasion of Russian forces.

“Our goal is to be with all Europeans and, above all, to be equal. I am sure this is fair. I am sure we deserve it,” he said.
