A group of volunteers who bonded over their love of Peaky Blinders have become one of Kyiv’s most-feared military units – claiming to have killed hundreds of Russian soldiers in Vladimir Putin’s war machine.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in a large-scale missile and drone bombardment during the night, officials said Friday, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said talks with the U.S. on ending the 3-year war will take place next week.

Russia launched a fresh wave of drone strikes into Ukraine overnight into Sunday morning as the country reeled from a bloody weekend of aerial attacks.

A Russian drone struck a multi-storey apartment building late on Sunday in Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv, triggering a fire and injuring eight people, the city's mayor said. Kharkiv resisted capture in the early days of Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and has since been a frequent target of air attacks.

Russian soldiers crept miles through a major gas pipeline near the town of Sudzha to catch Ukrainian forces off-guard as part of a major offensive to expel Kyiv troops from Kursk in western Russia, Reuters reports.

Russian drones struck a medical facility and other targets late on Friday in Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv, wounding at least seven people, local officials said.

The Russia invasion into Ukraine continues and as it does, the United States’ approach to the conflict is rapidly shifting.The days of life in Tetiana Ieltsova'
