Russia launched its biggest blitz on Ukraine since the initial invasion air-strikes began with more than 80 cruise missiles and 24 drones launched across the country.
Widespread attacks on seven cities including Kyiv killed at least 11 and wounded at least 87 as parts of the capital were left in flames during one terrifying rush-hour salvo.
Among those killed in Kyiv were the head of the police cyber force Colonel Yuri Zaskov as the death toll from attacks was expected to rise.
