Ukraine is massing a million-strong fighting force equipped with western weapons to recover its southern territory from Russia, the nation’s defence minister has said. Retaking the areas around the Black Sea coast was vital to the country's economy, Oleksii Reznikov said. The defence minister's remarks come as Russia makes progress in taking territory in the eastern Donbas region.
