The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has claimed full control of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.

He made the claim in a video while wearing combat fatigues in front of a line of fighters holding Russian flags and Wagner banners.

Mr Prigozhin taunted President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Joe Biden, who were taking part in a G7 summit in Japan.

Addressing Mr Zelenskyy, Mr Prigozhin said: "Today when you see Biden, kiss him on the top of his head, say hi to him from me."
