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.

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.

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.

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

The Kremlin’s recalcitrant comments indicate the Trump administration’s whirlwind diplomacy has yielded little in the way of results.

There are inherent contradictions in the idea of the guarantees meant to prevent Russia from attacking Ukraine again.

President Trump seeks to broker a meeting of the two leaders to end the Ukraine war.

Russia seems unlikely to agree to Western troops in Ukraine as part of any deal to end the war.

Has the Trump administration misread Moscow?

Behind the smiles in Alaska, the Trump-Putin summit left more questions than answers — and it played right into the Russian leader’s hands.

The Ukrainian leader hopes that with the support of Western nations, Kiev can “force Russia into a real peace”
