Russian artillery pounded the last routes out of Bakhmut, aiming to completely encircle the besieged Ukrainian city and score Moscow's first major victory in half a year after the bloodiest fighting of the war. FIGHTING

* The United States announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $400 million primarily comprised of ammunition, but for the first time will include tactical bridges to move tanks and armored vehicles. * Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary force, said in a video Bakhmut was "practically surrounded" by his forces and Kyiv's forces had only one road out left.

* The commander of a Ukrainian drone unit active in Bakhmut said in a video that his unit had been ordered to withdraw immediately from the city. * Russia said it would take measures to prevent new border incursions and President Vladimir Putin told his Security Council to discuss additional "anti-terrorism measures" after what he called a "terrorist attack" in the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine.

DIPLOMACY * U.S. President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed on Friday to keep imposing costs on Russia for its war in Ukraine, now in its second year, as an EU official said any arms provided by China to Russia would trigger sanctions.

* Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the United States of hypocrisy after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Russia cannot be allowed to wage war in Ukraine with impunity. * U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland made an unannounced visit on Friday to Lviv, Ukraine, where he reaffirmed Washington's determination to hold Russia accountable for war crimes, a Justice Department official said.

* Foreign ministers of the 'Quad group' - the United States, Japan, India and Australia - have denounced Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine war, according to a statement. * Russia's ruptured undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines are set to be sealed up and mothballed, sources say.
