Russia has been launching near-daily drone and missile attacks against Ukraine in recent months, but their intensity has increased in recent weeks as talks to end the war yielded few results.

US President Donald Trump has been attempting to broker a peace between the two sides, but negotiations have so far yielded little progress, though prisoner exchanges have been agreed.

Strikes in Kyiv overnight on Monday lit up the night sky with fires in residential areas and damaged the entrance to a metro station bomb shelter.

At least 34 people including four children were wounded in the attacks on Kyiv, the emergencies service said.

Ukraine's air force said it had downed 339 of 352 drones and 15 of 16 missiles launched by Russia in the attack on four Ukrainian regions.

Rescue workers pulled bodies from the rubble of an apartment block in Kyiv's busy Shevchenkivskyi district, less than a kilometre from the US embassy.

At least nine people died in the district, the interior ministry said.

The protest haka was seen around the world after images circulated of Māori Party member Hana-Rawhiti Maipi Clarke rising from her parliamentary seat, leading the war cry and tearing up an early draft of the bill.
