North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said Russia's war in Ukraine is not going to the plan as its attempt to capture the eastern Donbas region has "stalled".

During a meeting in Germany, he said Ukraine could win the conflict.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the Russian troops are at a dead end in the conflict with Ukraine.

During his nightly address, he said the time will surely come when the Ukrainian people fully force Russia to recognise reality.

In another development, Sweden and Finland have confirmed that they will apply for NATO membership.
