Russia-Ukraine war – latest news updates
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has accused Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, and other city leaders of negligence after witness reports emerged that civilians had died earlier this week because a bomb shelter had not been opened in time.
Three were killed, including a nine-year-old and her mother, by falling missile debris in the small hours on Thursday as they waited outside the shelter. The city’s mayor responded by saying the responsibility for the tragedy should be shared between them.
