Russian strikes on Ukraine overnight killed at least three people, including a pregnant woman, Kyiv said Tuesday, hours after president Volodymyr Zelensky held talks with allies in London.

Ukraine said Russia was increasing its attacks on civilians as it was ‘unable’ to achieve Kremlin-set aims in a fifth year of Moscow’s invasion.

‘At least three people were killed, including a pregnant 22-year-old woman, in Chuguiv,’ foreign minister Andriy Sybiga said, referring to a city in the northeastern Kharkiv region.

Emergency services published images of a blaze engulfing residential buildings and parked cars.

Chuguiv mayor Galyna Minaeiva said the city — southwest of the regional capital Kharkiv — was hit by missiles and Iranian-made Shahed drones.

Russian progress on the sprawling front line has halted this year — despite Moscow recruiting up to 30,000 new fighters every month.

Both sides have escalated long-range drone strikes.

‘Being unable to achieve its goals on the battlefield, Russia increases terror against civilians,’ Sybiga said.

‘We urge the world to ramp up pressure on the Russian regime and further increase the cost of this terror for the aggressor.’

Russian president Vladimir Putin last week rejected Zelensky’s proposal for face-to-face talks to end the war.

Meeting in London over the weekend, Britain’s Keir Starmer, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz said they supported Kyiv’s proposal for ‘direct dialogue’.

Zelensky told British media he had met with Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in Kyiv, passing on a message to Putin that ‘we will not give you our territory’.

The Russian leader has insisted Moscow intends to capture the whole of eastern Ukraine by force, however long it takes.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has turned into Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, with thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of troops killed.​

A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and wounded at least three others in southern Russia, a regional official said Saturday, with nearly 100 people fighting to extinguish a fire caused by the strike.

The attack damaged port installations in the Temryuk district on the Sea of Azov, near the Kerch Strait separating mainland Russia from the Crimean peninsula, which has been occupied by Moscow since 2014.

‘As a result of falling drone debris, a fire broke out at a maritime terminal... one person was killed,’ Krasnodar Krai governor Veniamin Kondratyev posted on Telegram.

He added that at least three people were wounded, according to first reports, and that 96 people had been drafted to fight the blaze.

The Russian army said it had shot down a total of 177 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Ukraine has stepped up its campaign of attacks within Russia in recent months, claiming fair retaliation for Moscow’s own massive bombardments across the more than four-year-long conflict.

Kyiv insists that the Ukrainian army first and foremost targets military installations and energy infrastructure, in a bid to deprive the Kremlin’s war chest of vital fossil fuel revenues.

The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine was reconnected to the grid Saturday, nearly three days after a strike cut off its external electricity supply, the UN nuclear watchdog said.

Power was restored after repairs to a back-up line, carried out while a local ceasefire was in place, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a post on X.

During the loss of external power, Europe’s largest atomic power plant had to rely on emergency diesel generators to maintain cooling for its reactors, the agency added.

The plant’s 19th loss of off-site power during the war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022, was caused by a strike late Wednesday on a substation.

‘Lasting almost three days, it was one of the site’s longest such loss of power events, underlining the extreme fragility of the electrical grid,’ the IAEA said.

The agency previously said no release of radioactivity had been detected and radiation levels remained normal.

The plant is now preparing to repair its main power line, which has been offline since March 24.

Zaporizhzhia lies close to the front line in southern Ukraine, and was captured by Russian troops in the early days of their invasion.

Moscow and Kyiv have repeatedly accused each other of risking a nuclear catastrophe with attacks near the plant.​
