Kyiv has recently suffered the most intense bombing it has seen since Russia began its full-scale invasion three years ago. What does Vladimir Putin hope to achieve — and how can the destruction be stopped?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Thursday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies has outlined a series of demands Russia wants met to bring an end to its brutal war in Ukraine. Moscow's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has insisted that any agreement to halt the violence cannot be reached unless the "root causes of the conflict" are "eliminated".

President Donald Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin out for throwing “bullsh*t” on peace talks with Ukraine - hours later, Russia launched its largest ever drone attack on Ukraine. CNN’s Matthew Chance analyzes whether the US leader’s comments have an impact on Russia’s military operations.
