Ukraine has hit a Russian chemical plant with UK-made Storm Shadow missiles, the Ukrainian military said on Tuesday. Calling the strike "a successful hit" that penetrated the Russian air defence system, Ukraine's general staff of the armed forces said they were still assessing the outcome of the "massive combined missile and air strike".

Russia said on Tuesday its conditions for peace in Ukraine remained unchanged since the August summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that it was unclear when their next meeting would take place.

This morning, Chernihiv woke up to a complete blackout after a series of Russian strikes on the region’s energy infrastructure. With temperatures dropping close to freezing overnight, Russia’s strikes will make life unbearable for civilians as we have seen time and again.

Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to freeze the war on the current battlelines, with Moscow holding a huge swathe of eastern Ukraine.

As temperatures drop in Ukraine, Russia has stepped up drone attacks on power facilities supplying millions of homes across the country.

A contentious meeting between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine produced no obvious progress toward a cease-fire.

Russia's modified drones are piercing Ukraine's defences at greater rates than before, targeting energy infrastructure.

A Russian drone attack killed four people in Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region on Tuesday, local broadcaster Suspilne reported citing the regional police.
