Russia launched a large-scale wave of strikes on Kyiv and across Ukraine, causing widespread destruction and injuries, as Moscow prepares for its Victory Day holiday that marks the anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany.

At least five people were injured in attacks on Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said, while Russian missiles caused a huge fire at a foodstuff warehouse in the Black Sea city of Odesa. Blasts were reported in several other Ukrainian regions early on Monday morning.
