Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday vowed to carry on fighting in Ukraine if a peace deal cannot be reached, striking a defiant tone a day before Kyiv's allies gather in Paris to discuss security guarantees.

Such a meeting, however, must have a meaningful agenda, the Russian president has said

Russia fired a massive barrage of drones and missiles at targets across Ukraine on Wednesday, wounding several people in regions south and west of Kyiv and leaving thousands without power in the north. The attacks came as UK Defence Secretary John Healey arrived in Ukraine for talks on security cooperation.

Tensions have well and truly exploded after Donald Trump’s latest move, pushing one of the world’s most powerful leaders into Russia and China’s arms.

The Russian president also defended his decision to invade Ukraine, once again blaming the war on the West.

Russia carried out a "massive" overnight attack on central and southeastern Ukraine, hitting Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and other regions. At least one person was killed and 26 wounded as homes and businesses were damaged, officials said.

Diplomats from Iran met with counterparts from China and Russia on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of top European powers reimposing international sanctions if there is no progress on nuclear talks by the end of August. Tehran is set to meet with the E3 (France, Britain and Germany) in Istanbul on Friday.

A “massive” Russian attack on Kyiv early Thursday killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more, Ukrainian authorities said. Powerful explosions shook the Ukrainian capital overnight, lighting up the sky and leaving a column of smoke as emergency crews rushed to affected areas.

Washington should support the effort led by Europe, the president has said
