Overnight Russia launched 653 drones and 51 missiles, most of which were downed, authorities said. One strike hit a railway hub at the town of Fastiv outside Kyiv, destroying the main station building and damaging rolling stock.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack had been "meaningless from a military point of view, and the Russians could not have been unaware of this".

Earlier US and Ukrainian negotiators urged Russia to show a "serious commitment to long-term peace" after talks in Moscow failed to produce a breakthrough.

Moscow has intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy sector and infrastructure in recent weeks.
