LONDON -- Russia overnight launched a heavy air attack on Ukraine -- including striking Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles -- that killed at least six people, including two children.

Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte says pressure and sanctions are changing Vladimir Putin's calculus as Russia deals with heavy military losses in Ukraine as the war continues.

US President Donald Trump continues to "work hard" to achieve peace, but Washington's patience over Russia's war against Ukraine "is growing very thin", the White House has said. Details: Leavitt said that Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on 17 October,

The attack on the Bryansk facility came hours before Russian attacks left six people dead in Ukraine, officials said.
