Russia is intensifying attacks on Ukraine, as Ukraine's counteroffensive appears to be entering a more aggressive phase.

At least six people are dead and 75 are injured after a Russian missile attack on President Zelensky's hometown.

This comes after a recent Ukrainian drone attack damaged two buildings and briefly shut down an airport in Moscow.

Negotiations are unlikely as both parties blame each other for the escalating tensions.
