Russia has continued to pound Ukraine after the “most massive” attack of the war on Monday. Ukrainian air defence systems are struggling against hundreds of missiles/drones fired at multiple regions, including Kyiv, and reports say while the Kremlin targeted energy infrastructure, the damage to Ukraine’s morale is also significant. President Volodymyr Zelensky has told Western allies his offensive inside Russia’s Kursk region is part of a “victory plan”, but “the time for decisive action is now” and he’s called on the US to lift restrictions on the use of American weapons inside Russia’s borders.

US President Joe Biden called Moscow’s attacks “outrageous” but so far has not indicated any further support.
