Six people have been killed, including a three-month-old baby, in a Russian missile attack on Odesa, Ukrainian officials have said
A residential building, understood to be an apartment block, was one of a number of targets hit by Russian rockets in the port city on Saturday. A rescue operation is under way.It came as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky used a phone call on Saturday afternoon with Boris Johnson to thank him for currently training members of Kyiv's military in the UK, according to Downing Street.
"There are many other friends in Europe, but I'm talking about volumes of help and I'm grateful for it." Earlier on Saturday a video was released by the Azov regiment of Ukraine's National Guard - part of the group holed up in the Azovstal plant. While Russia pulled a dozen crack military units from the city to bolster its offensive elsewhere in the Donbas, others continue to keep the remaining Ukrainian troops in Mariupol pinned in the Azovstal steelworks.
