 Credit: National Police of Ukraine Countdown has begun to end of Putin, say Kyiv officials A Russian missile attack on a crowded restaurant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, is now said to have killed at least eight people. More than 50 others were injured in the strike and rescuers are continuing to search for people trapped under the debris. Kramatorsk is one of the largest cities still under Ukrainian control in the besieged east and has often been targeted by missiles since the start of the invasion in February 2022. The BBC’s international editor Jeremy Bowen is in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv to assess what the country’s leaders think about the drama over the border in Russia. He says the 24-hour mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group has hardened the view that Mr Putin's time as Russia's president is coming to an end. “Senior Ukrainian officials who spoke to the BBC all argued that President Putin could not ride out a catastrophic loss of authority,” he says. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Hancock before Covid Inquiry and doctors to strike Matt Hancock's evidence at the Covid Inquiry makes a number of the front pages. The Metro reports the former health secretary, who resigned in 2021 after being caught kissing an aide in a breach of lockdown rules, told the hearing on Tuesday that the UK's pandemic preparations had been too concerned with the "consequences of disaster".

A planned strike by senior doctors and the inquest into the death of Nicola Bulley also feature heavily in the papers. See the other headlines. | | | |
