Ukraine-Russia war - live: Kyiv inflicting ‘hell’ on Russian lines as counter-offensive escalates

Zelensky says ‘Russian society has raised a second Hitler’ in attack on Putin

Ukraine has launched a fresh wave of attacks on a Crimean city as they look to take back large swathes of Russian-occupied territory.

Kyiv launched a second missile attack on Sevastopol in occupied Crimea, a Russian-installed official said, a day after an attack on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet left a serviceman missing and the main building smoldering on Friday.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the latest strike resulted in any deaths or injuries but in a statement on Saturday, the Ukrainian military said the Black Sea Fleet attack had left “dozens of dead and wounded occupiers, including the top management of the fleet”.

It came as Zelensky angered his Polish neighbours when he told the United Nations General Assembly in New York that Kyiv was working to preserve land routes for grain exports, but that the “political theatre” around imports was only helping Moscow.
