    .

    Russia has launched a “massive” drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital overnight, after Moscow itself was targeted.

    Amid flailing peace talks, the Kremlin’s nightly attacks on Ukraine continued.

    Ukraine war – follow the latest updates

    A large-scale Russian attack through the night into Sunday injured at least 11 in Kyiv and killed three people in towns surrounding the capital.

    There were attacks elsewhere as well, including drone strikes in Mykolaiv, where a residential building was hit.

    ‘Massive’ attack

    In Kyiv, the city’s administration warned “the night will be difficult”, as people were urged to remain in shelters.

    The city’s mayor Vitaliy Klitschko described it as a “massive” attack.

    He said: “Explosions in the city. Air defence forces are working. The capital is under attack by enemy UAVs. Do not neglect your safety! Stay in shelters!”

    It came after at least 15 people were injured in attacks the night prior.

    Russia claimed it also faced a Ukrainian drone attack on Sunday, and that it intercepted and destroyed around 100 of them near Moscow and across Russia’s central and southern regions.

    Russia ‘dragging out the war’

    Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine continued a prisoner exchange, marking a rare moment of cooperation in the war.

    Amid the most recent attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy repeated his calls for sanctions on Russia.

    Russia “fills each day with horror and murder” and is “simply dragging out the war”, he said.

    “All of this demands a response – a strong response from the United States, from Europe, and from everyone in the world who wants this war to end,” Mr Zelenskyy added.

    Every day “gives new grounds for sanctions against Russia”, he said, and each day without pressure proves the “war will continue”.

    Ukraine, meanwhile, is ready for “any form of diplomacy that delivers real results”.
