Ukraine war: 14 killed as Russian missile and drone attacks strike Kyiv
Russian missile and drone attacks have killed 14 people in Kyiv overnight, according to Ukrainian officials.
A 62-year-old US citizen who suffered shrapnel wounds is among the dead.
At least 139 others were wounded in strikes that hollowed out a residential building and destroyed dozens of apartments, with the city's mayor announcing that Wednesday will be an official day of mourning.
Emergency workers were at the scene to rescue people from under the rubble.
Images show a firefighter was among those hurt, with injured residents evacuated from their homes, some by crane.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as "one of the most terrifying attacks on Kyiv" - and said Russian forces had fired 440 drones and 32 missiles as civilians slept in their homes.
"[Putin] wants the war to go on," he said. "It is troubling when the powerful of this world turn a blind eye to it."
Ukraine's interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, said 27 locations across the capital have been hit - including educational institutions and critical infrastructure.
He claimed the attack, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, was one of the largest on the capital since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
Drones swarmed over the city, with an air raid alert remaining in force for seven hours.
One person was killed and 17 others injured as a result of separate Russian drone strikes in the port city of Odesa.
It comes as the G7 summit in Canada continues, which Ukraine's leader is expected to attend.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy was due to hold talks with Donald Trump - but the president has announced he is unexpectedly returning to Washington because of tensions in the Middle East.
Ukraine's foreign minister says Moscow's decision to attack Kyiv during the summit is a signal of "total disrespect" to the US.
"Russia not only rejects a ceasefire or a leaders' meeting to find solutions and end the war - it cynically strikes Ukraine's capital while pretending to seek diplomatic solutions," Andrii Sybiha wrote on social media.
Moscow has launched a record number of drones and missiles in recent weeks, and says the attacks are in retaliation for a Ukrainian operation that targeted warplanes in airbases deep within Russian territory.
Military analysts say Russia is adapting its tactics - and concentrating strikes on a single city at a time to overwhelm Ukraine's air defences.
"It is a new challenge that we need to adapt to as soon as possible," Oleksandr Kovalenko warned.
On X, Ukraine's foreign ministry wrote: "Russia's campaign of terror against civilians continues. Its war against Ukraine escalates with increased brutality.
"The only way to stop Russia is tighter pressure - through sanctions, more defence support for Ukraine, and limiting Russia's ability to keep sowing war."
Olena Lapyshnak, who lived in one of the destroyed buildings, said: "It's horrible, it's scary, in one moment there is no life. I can only curse the Russians, that's all I can say. They shouldn't exist in this world."
Russia's military says it downed 203 Ukrainian drones over 10 regions on Monday evening and Tuesday morning - with flights in and out of all four of Moscow's airports temporarily suspended.

The summit will take place in Johannesburg from November 22 to 23. However, South Africa is a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), meaning it is obliged to arrest Mr Putin on arrival.

In a letter sent yesterday to Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte, Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez said that Spain "cannot commit to a specific spending target in terms of GDP". His comments reveal divisions in the bloc ahead next week's Nato summit in The Hague. "For Spain, committing to a 5 per cent target would not only be unreasonable, but also counterproductive, as it would move Spain away from optimal spending and it would hinder the EU's ongoing efforts to strengthen its security and defence ecosystem," Mr Sanchez wrote in the letter seen by The Associated Press.

"Based on the discussions at the site this week, it is clear that there is a general consensus among all parties that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant cannot start operating again as long as this large-scale war continues," the UN nuclear watchdog said in a statement. Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest nuclear power plant (NPP) situated in Ukraine's east, has not been generating electricity for almost three years now, and its location on the frontline of the conflict continues to put nuclear safety in constant jeopardy, the IAEA said. 'Its off-site power situation also remains extremely fragile, with only one power line currently functioning compared with ten before the conflict. In addition, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in mid-2023 means the ZNPP does not have sufficient water to cool six operating reactors,' the statement yesterday added.

Before that, he has served as commander of the forces of the Operational Command South. Mr Zelensky, speaking later in his nightly video address, said the incoming military chief's experience in working with Nato would be put to good use in introducing changes in Ukraine's forces.

"Changes are needed and this is an imperative." Mr Shapovalov takes over as head of land forces from Mykhailo Drapatyi, who tendered his resignation this month after a deadly Russian strike on a training camp in southeastern Ukraine. Arpan Rai

At least 14 injured in Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine's Odesa
KYIV, June 20 (Reuters) - At least 14 people were injured when Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian Black Sea city of Odesa overnight, damaging high-rise buildings and railway infrastructure, local authorities said on Friday. Odesa is Ukraine's largest Black Sea port, key for imports and exports, and has been under constant missile and drone attacks by Russia since the war began. "Despite the active work of air defence forces, there is damage to civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings, a higher education institution, a gas pipeline and private cars," local governor Oleh Kiper said on Telegram messenger. Kiper released photos of burning houses and charred high-rise buildings. Local emergencies service said that during the attack there were at least 10 drone strikes on residential buildings, causing massive fires. Ukraine's air force said on Friday that Russia had launched 86 drones on Ukraine overnight. The military noted its air defence units shot down 34 drones while another 36 drones were lost - in reference to the Ukrainian military using electronic warfare to redirect them - or they were drone simulators that did not carry warheads. However, the military reported that drones hit 8 locations. Ukrainian state railways Ukrzaliznytsia reported that Odesa railway station was damaged during the attack, with power wires and rails damaged. Russian drones also attacked Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine overnight, damaging several private and multi-storey houses, Kharkiv officials said.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin claims he will meet Zelensky after Kyiv accuses him of rejecting ceasefire for 100 days
Vladimir Putin has claimed he is willing to meet Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky but only for a 'final phase' of talks. He told international news outlets in St Petersburg that he would only join the talks to finally 'put an end' to the conflict. It is not the first time - nor will it be the last - that Putin has supposedly signalled a desire to end the war. Ukraine and its western backers say he is simply playing for time, appealing to Donald Trump while continuing to relentlessly bomb Ukraine in the meantime. Dozens of civilians have been killed in Ukraine in recent weeks following a surge in Russian aerial attacks. Ukraine's foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said this morning it had been 100 days of Russia 'manipulating … opportunities to end the war', referencing Kyiv 's acceptance of a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire back in March and Moscow 's refusal to agree to it. '100 days of Russian manipulations and missed opportunities to end the war. 100 days of Russia escalating terror against Ukraine rather than ending it,' Mr Sybiha wrote on X.
