Ukraine is under attack once again as Russia launches the latest wave of missiles in a bid to cripple the country’s energy infrastructure.

Air defences were active in the Kyiv region on Monday afternoon and there are unconfirmed reports of explosions in Zaporizhzhia and Cherkasy.

In the capital hundreds of people took shelter in the city’s metro stations. Ukraine has been braced for another attack, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying last week that Moscow’s forces would continue the campaign of systematic attacks “for as long as they have missiles”.

Zelensky added that the military was preparing itself, alongside Western allies, who have been delivering new air defence systems to Ukraine, but some missiles inevitably hit their targets.

With temperatures dipping below zero, repeated Russian attacks have left Ukraine’s energy grid teetering on the brink of collapse and have disrupted power and water supplies to millions over recent weeks.

In its last barrage, Russia fired dozens of cruise missiles at targets across Ukraine last month, and officials in Kyiv said residents in and around the capital were still suffering disruptions as a result.
