Vladimir Putin unleashed one of his most brutal bombardments on Kyiv – all while stonewalling Donald Trump’s proposal for talks to put an end to the war.
A barrage of Russian drones and missiles struck Ukraine’s capital in the early hours of this morning, including a rare attack on the centre.
At least eight people have been killed – including two children – and another 45 injured, but the death toll is likely to rise in the coming hours.
Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement on X: ‘People may still be trapped under the rubble. Dozens are wounded.’
‘These Russian missiles and attack drones today are a clear response to everyone in the world who, for weeks and months, has been calling for a ceasefire and for real diplomacy.’
A five-story block of flats in the Darnytskyi district was hit directly and turned into rubble, and dozens other houses were damaged.
The head of Kyiv’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko said: ‘All is destroyed.’
A missile strike on a shopping mall in central Kyiv left a major road strewn with shattered glass.

Ukrainian authorities said some 500 rescuers and 1,000 police officers were responding to multiple locations.
