Kyiv endured a night of hell as Vladimir Putin unleashed new terror on the Ukrainian capital.
Apocalyptic scenes unfolded during more than seven hours of bombardment which saw missiles and drones hit until 5.10am today.
Explosions and fires broke out across the capital city - as a senior Moscow military figure and hardline politician insisted Putin's aim is to unite Russia, Ukraine and Belarus into a single state.
Russia also attacked military facilities in Dnipro and Poltava regions amid claims the Kremlin deployed more deadly £2million Iskander-M missiles - and their North Korean equivalents - than ever before.
Ukraine reported strikes by 14 Russian Iskander-M and Pyongyang lookalike KN-23 ballistic missiles as well as 250 drones - some of which were decoy dummies.
