Healey: Putin talks peace, but then 'steps up and escalating his attacks' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"He talks about peace, but he is stepping up and escalating his attacks. Not attacks on the Ukrainian military, but on civilians and cities like this. It's brutal, it's cynical, it's exactly why we have got to work so hard to help Ukraine secure a peace."
"We are doing everything we can to resolve this as quickly as possible. However, the combined attack on Kyiv last night was the most devastating for the capital's critical infrastructure."

Russian forces targeted Kyiv with 36 missiles and 242 drones, hitting surrounding areas and energy infrastructure and leaving almost 6,000 residential buildings without power or heating amid sub -10C temperatures. At least four people were killed and 19 injured. Lviv was struck overnight by a nuclear-capable Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents to leave and warned of a potential significant air attack in coming days. British Defence Secretary John Healey visited Kyiv, condemned the attacks as brutal and cynical, and called for intensified support to help Ukraine secure peace.
