It’s been dubbed Russia’s answer to Davos: some 20,000 visitors from over 130 countries have travelled to St Petersburg for President Putin’s flagship economic forum.

President Zelenskyy claimed responsibility on social media for the attack – around 700 miles from Kyiv – saying it was an example of “long-range sanctions”.
