Thanks for tuning in to our live updates today, we are pausing our coverage at this time.
It was a busy day with updates after Russia fired an Oreshnik hypersonic missile into Ukraine's western Lviv region.
The Defense Ministry said the strike was a “response to an attempted Ukrainian drone attack on one of Vladimir Putin's residences” late last year.
kyiv said Moscow's claims that it had tried to attack the residence, in Russia's Novgorod region, were “a lie.”
Ukraine's foreign minister said the strike near the EU-NATO border posed a “grave threat to the security of the European continent and a test for the transatlantic community.”
Watch: The Oreshnik missile is an “unpredictable beast”
Elsewhere, at least four people were killed and 22 others injured in kyiv after 36 missiles and more than 240 drones were fired from Russia overnight.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Qatari embassy building was also damaged by a Russian drone.
In response, Qatar expressed its regrets and confirmed that no injuries had been recorded.
Zelensky also met with British Defense Secretary John Healey in kyiv today, with discussions on how a British contingent could be deployed to operate alongside French forces “if diplomacy succeeds in ending the war.”
Healey told reporters the Russian attack was “brutal” and “cynical” and urged Donald Trump to bring the two sides together to “talk about the future of peace.”
