Zelenskyy responds to Russian strikes - as Kremlin appears to rule out ceasefire talks
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has just responded to this morning's barrage of Russian strikes on his country.
He says more than 100 missiles have been used, and around 100 drones, and has called upon Western allies to provide air defence resources.
Earlier, his chief of staff asked them to allow long-range use of their weapons on targets inside Russia.
The Ukrainian foreign minister also wants his country's allies to help shoot down Russian drones and missiles that veer close to their airspace (see 9.34 post)
Moscow has targeted 15 regions of Ukraine this morning, including Kyiv, where people have been sheltering in underground metro stations after explosions were heard.
Mr Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram there was "a lot of damage in the energy sector".
Kremlin: Ceasefire talks have 'lost relevance'
The Kremlin, meanwhile, has said the attacks were targeting energy infrastructure vital to Ukraine's war effort.
It also said any prospect of ceasefire talks with Kyiv had "lost its relevance" and warned of further response to the incursion into Kursk.
People shelter in metro station
Hundreds of people have taken cover in an underground metro station today as Russia launched a barrage of missiles and drones at the Ukrainian capital.
People in Kyiv were photographed sitting on stairs inside the stations, waiting for the all clear as missiles hit energy and water infrastructure sites in the city.
Russia has admitted to the strikes on Ukraine today, claiming it was targeting sites linked to the Ukrainian military.
'Military object' entered Polish airspace today
A "military object" entered Polish airspace during the Russian attack on Ukraine this morning, reports have claimed.
It comes amid the largest Russian strike on Ukraine in weeks, with Moscow targeting energy infrastructure in three regions.
The Polish state news agency, PAP, reported that searches for the object, which was not a missile, are under way.
