As heavy fighting continues in the east, a Ukrainian presidential adviser has acknowledged serious losses - but said Russia's were even worse.

Oleksiy Arestovych said Ukraine had lost control of some towns and villages - but claimed Russia's own casualties had been "colossal".

Arestovych said Russia was losing a company of troops every day, according to remarks quoted by the UNIAN news agency.

He said his soldiers were continuing to conduct a successful defensive operation.

It was not possible to independently verify the claims.
