Russia has launched a major missile and rocket attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv. Dozens of civilians are believed to have been killed and many more have been injured in the bombardment, which is believed to have included unguided Grad rockets and banned cluster bombs. There have been reports that Russian generals have been ordered to take Kharkiv at all costs, although Ukraine says it still holds the city. Meanwhile, a 5km convoy of Russian tanks and troops is advancing on Kyiv. There have also been reports that Russian mercenaries are in Kyiv and have orders to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky and his government. Zelensky says he is sceptical about peace talks with Russia on the border with Belarus. The first round of talks have ended without a resolution, but they are expected to resume in coming days.
