Heavy Russian strikes hit Ukraine's Odessa and Kiev
At least one person was killed and several others injured as Russia launched a heavy wave of drone and missile attacks on Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian officials said early on Tuesday. In the southern port city of Odessa, one person was killed and at least four others were injured after a drone strike, Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram. Attacks were also reported in the capital Kiev, where authorities said several people were injured. A dpa reporter described hearing heavy air defence fire during the night and Ukraine's air force said ballistic missiles were also used. The Kiev city military administration said damage was reported in six out of the capital's 10 districts. At least one woman was injured, and the Kyiv Independent reported, citing local authorities, that several cars caught fire and buildings were damaged. The attack came just a day after what Kiev said was the largest drone barrage since the start of the war, with nearly 500 Shahed drones used in overnight strikes. Several people were injured in that attack.

Russian drone strike kills two in Odesa, governor says
A Russian drone strike overnight has killed at least two people and wounded five others in a residential area of Odesa, the Ukrainian region's governor said. "Two people died as a result of the strike, and five others were injured," Odesa governor Oleg Kiper said on Telegram. He said the Russian attack also damaged high-rise buildings, houses, a supermarket and a school. "Fires broke out in some places, which our rescuers are extinguishing," he added. Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov said the emergency and utility services "are working on the ground to eliminate the consequences of the attacks and provide the necessary medical assistance to the victims". Explosions were also heard in the city of Sumy and air raid warnings were triggered in several other places including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city in the northeast, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said a drone had struck a petrol station in the city centre, triggering a fire. He provided no further details. The strikes came as the United States and Ukraine signed a minerals deal that US President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. After initial hesitation, Ukraine has accepted the minerals accord as a way to secure long-term investment by Washington, as Mr Trump tries to drastically scale back US security commitments around the world.

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,104
Here is the situation on Tuesday, March 4: Fighting Ukraine's military said it destroyed 46 of 83 Russian drones launched at the country overnight. Another 31 drones were reportedly 'lost' and failed to reach their targets. A drone attack on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa damaged energy infrastructure in the area, triggering power and heat supply interruptions in the city, regional Governor Oleh Kiper wrote. Odesa's Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov said the attack knocked out three boiler plants. A Ukrainian drone attack targeted an industrial enterprise in Russia's southern city of Syzran, the governor of the Samara region said on Tuesday, adding that there were no casualties. A Russian Telegram channel claimed that the Syzran oil refinery was hit in the attack. A Ukrainian mass drone attack in the Chertovsky district of Russia's southern Rostov region set fire to an oil pipeline, said regional Governor Yury Slyusar. He later said falling debris had also triggered a fire at a storage facility of an industrial site in the area. A Russian missile attack on an army training ground near the village of Cherkaske killed several soldiers, the AFP news agency reported, citing a Ukrainian military source. Although an official death toll was not released, Ukrainian military blogger Yury Butusov said about 30-40 soldiers were killed and 90 others injured. Moscow confirmed that Kyiv returned 33 civilians who were displaced from the western Kursk region after Ukraine took over the territory. Russia's human rights ombudswoman Tatyana Moskalkova said the handover was possible with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross and mediation by Belarus. Economy The Reuters news agency reported a major crash in Ukraine's international bonds after the public clash between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Politics and diplomacy The Kremlin said the next round of Russia-US talks on ending the invasion of Ukraine is unlikely to happen before the embassies of both countries resume normal operations. AFP quoted Zelenskyy as saying that it would 'not be simple' to replace him as Kyiv's leader. However, he reiterated his willingness to step down in exchange for Ukraine's entry into NATO as a member country. The United Kingdom's armed forces minister, Luke Pollard, told Times Radio that no agreement has been made on what a truce would look like in Ukraine. AFP also reported, citing a government source, that 'a one-month truce has not been agreed'. A spokesperson for the UK's prime minister, Keir Starmer, said the European countries were looking at several options to end Russia's war against Ukraine. However, the spokesperson did not provide details on these options. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticised the London security summit and said the pledges made by European leaders to increase funding for Kyiv would only allow hostilities to continue, instead of contributing to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Peskov also said the Oval Office fight between Trump and Zelenskyy shows how challenging it would be to reach a settlement with Ukraine. Accusing Zelenskyy of not wanting peace and demonstrating 'a complete lack of diplomatic abilities', Peskov said, 'someone should make him want peace.' Zelenskyy told UK media that a ceasefire without security guarantees would not bring a sustainable end to Russia's invasion of his country. 'It will be a failure for everyone if Ukraine is forced into a ceasefire without serious security guarantees,' he said. Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko sent a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency's chief Rafael Grossi, calling on the IAEA to comply with Ukraine's laws. Galushchenko's letter reminded the agency that staff rotations could not take place without permission from Ukrainian authorities. Grossi defended the rotation through Russian-occupied territory and said the only reason they did this was because he was responsible for the security of his employees. Starmer told the UK Parliament that a minerals deal between the US and Ukraine would not be 'enough on its own' without security guarantees. A deal to end Russia's war on Ukraine is 'still very, very far away', Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving US support despite his recent spat with Trump. Trump said he would 'not put up with' Zelenskyy's stance on a possible ceasefire with Russia after Zelenskyy said an end to the war was very far off. 'This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America will not put up with it for much longer,' Trump said on his Truth Social network. In response, Zelenskyy said in a social media post that he wants to end the war as 'soon as possible' and added that 'it is very important that we try to make our diplomacy really substantive to end this war'. Trump said he would provide an update on the minerals deal on Tuesday and reiterated that Zelenskyy should be more appreciative of Washington's support to Kyiv. Trump's administration has paused financing any new weapons sales to Ukraine after his escalating feud with Zelenskyy. Reuters reported, citing a White House official, that Washington is reviewing its aid to ensure the US is contributing to peace.
