* Russia-Ukraine war: latest updates
A Russian airstrike has hit a residential building in Kyiv as Moscow’s forces step up their brutal campaign to capture Ukraine’s capital and other major cities, even as a fourth round of peace talks between the two sides got under way.
A day after Russia attacked a military base near the Polish border, an airstrike on a nine-storey block of flats in Kyiv’s Obolon district killed one person and wounded several others, emergency services said on Monday, while a second person was later killed by falling missile fragments nearby.
