Meanwhile, new analysis showed Russia's army is advancing in Ukraine at the slowest pace seen in more than 100 years of warfare.
After seizing the initiative in 2024, Russian forces have advanced at an average rate of between 15 and 70 metres a day in their most prominent offensives, according to the US-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
In Moscow's offensive on Chasiv Yar, which began in February 2024, Putin's forces have advanced at an average rate of 15 metres a day, data shows.
By comparison, French forces advanced around 80 metres a day during the infamously attritional Battle of the Somme during the First World War.

Trump envoy making 'big mistakes' - report
As attention turns towards this weekend's latest round of trilateral talks, concerns are reportedly growing inside Ukraine's peace delegation over a senior US envoy with a "shocking" lack of knowledge about the war and geopolitics.
According to the Kyiv Independent, the official, who has not been named, has made several blunders during recent conversations with reporters, including suggesting they did not know when Russia's war in Ukraine had begun.
It's also suggested the official incorrectly claimed that Kyrylo Budanov, the recently appointed head of Ukraine's President's Office, now serves as the country's vice president.
They also reportedly said the war in Ukraine has now been going on longer than the Second World War.
