One person killed after Russia launches drone, missile attack
At least one person was killed in Kyiv as Russia launched 426 drones and 24 missiles in an overnight air attack on Ukraine, according to officials. Ukraine's air force said that Russia launched 426 drones and 24 missiles overnight. It downed or jammed 224 drones and missiles, while another 203 drones disappeared from radars, most likely having been jammed by electronic warfare, the air force said. At least one person was killed and multiple fires were caused in the capital Kyiv, city officials said. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said rescuers and medics were working on sites across four districts of the capital. A subway station in central Kyiv, commercial property, shops, houses and a pre-school were damaged, city officials said. In another tense night for Kyiv residents, many rushed to take shelter in underground stations. Explosions were heard across the city as air defence units engaged in repelling the attack. Oleh Synehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, reported multiple explosions in Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city, but gave no immediate details on the damage. Ukrainian drone attacks sow chaos at Moscow's airports Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia sowed chaos at major airports serving Moscow today, with thousands of passengers waiting in lines or sleeping on the floor after flights were cancelled or delayed, Russian media reported. Videos published by Russian media showed people sleeping on the floor of Sheremetyevo, Russia's busiest airport by passenger numbers, amid long queues. Russia's defence ministry said it had downed 117 drones overnight, including 30 over the Moscow region, after downing 172 drones, including 30 over the Moscow region, the previous day. Russia's civil aviation authority, Rosaviatsiya, briefly imposed restrictions on flights overnight at Moscow's main airports - Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovskiy. Several thousand people were stranded in the far east of Russia due to the cancellation of flights in European Russia, while extra trains were put on to bring passengers back to Moscow from the northern Russian city of St Petersburg, Russian media said.

Russia strikes Kyiv metro entrance as civilians shelter inside
Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital killed at least one person and left parts of the city heavily damaged, including a school and the entrance to a metro station where residents were sheltering to keep safe. Four of Kyiv's districts were attacked on Monday morning, with reports of burning residential buildings, a kiosk and a kindergarten, according to Vitali Klitschko, the city's mayor. The entrance to the Lukianivska metro station was also damaged by missiles and drones as residents shielded inside. Emergency services said smoke spread underground, with footage showing the makeshift bomb shelter being filled with fumes. Oleh Synehubov, the governor of Kharkiv, reported multiple explosions in the country's second-largest city, but gave no immediate details on the damage. It was the latest in a series of escalating attacks by Russia targeting densely populated civilian areas. Moscow has been known to launch repeated attacks on the same area once emergency services have arrived. In Moscow, a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack forced thousands of passengers to wait in lines or sleep on the floor at airports with a number of flights being delayed or cancelled. Videos published by Russian media showed people sleeping on the floor of Sheremetyevo, Russia's busiest airport by passenger numbers, amid long queues. Russia's defence ministry said it had downed 117 drones overnight, including 30 over the Moscow region, forcing restrictions on flights at Moscow's main airports – Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovskiy. Ukraine's air force meanwhile said Russia had launched 426 drones and 24 missiles in Monday's attack. It downed or jammed 224 drones and missiles, while another 203 drones disappeared from radars, most likely having been jammed by electronic warfare, the air force said. The renewed attacks came after Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said he had proposed a new round of talks with Moscow this week. The two sides have already held two rounds of direct negotiations in Istanbul but have so far been unable to make any meaningful progress beyond exchanging prisoners and repatriating the dead. The UK announced on Sunday that along with Germany it would launch a '50-day drive' to arm Ukraine and force Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, into peace. 'As members of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, we need to step up in turn with a '50-day drive' to arm Ukraine on the battlefield and force Putin to the negotiating table,' John Healey, the Defence Secretary, is expected to say on Monday. The Kremlin said on Sunday it was open to peace but insisted achieving its goals remained a priority after Donald Trump, the US president, gave Moscow a 50-day deadline to agree to peace and confirmed the US would send billions of dollars' worth of weapons to Ukraine via Nato, including Patriot air defence missiles. Putin has 'repeatedly spoken of his desire to bring the Ukrainian settlement to a peaceful conclusion as soon as possible. This is a long process, it requires effort, and it is not easy,' a spokesperson for the Russian president said. 'The main thing for us is to achieve our goals,' he said. 'Our goals are clear.' The Kremlin has insisted that any peace deal should see Ukraine withdraw from the four regions that Russia illegally annexed in September 2022 – Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia – but never fully captured. It also wants Ukraine to renounce its bid to join Nato and accept strict limits on its armed forces, demands Kyiv and its Western allies have rejected.

Moscow and its surrounding region has a population of at least 21.5 million. French foreign minister arrives in Kyiv Monday's Russian attack on Ukraine came hours before France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot arrived in Kyiv for a two-day visit aimed at supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion. Barrot is expected to meet his counterpart Andriy Sybiga, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and newly-nominated Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. "In the wake of the unprecedented sanctions adopted by France and the European Union against Russia, the minister will take stock of France's support for Ukraine," the French foreign ministry said in a press release. The EU on Friday adopted a sweeping new package of sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine war, lowering its price cap on Russian oil exported to third countries around the world to 15 percent below market value. Barrot is set to Chernobyl nuclear power plant during his visit. "As Russian forces continue to carry out regular strikes against Ukraine's energy infrastructure, threatening its security and that of the European continent, the minister will visit the Chernobyl nuclear power plant," the French foreign ministry said. France has contributed to help fix a radiation cover at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine allegedly hit by a Russian drone in February, in an attack that did not result in any radiation being released.
