Russia has launched one of the biggest aerial attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv since the start of the war, using missiles and drones, hours after the two sides began exchanging hundreds of prisoners of war in a deal seen as the first step towards a ceasefire.

Russian strikes killed at least twelve people in Ukraine overnight on Sunday, with four deaths in the Kyiv region, Ukrainian officials said.

Russian troops, who are advancing slowly on the eastern front in Ukraine, have captured two settlements in Donetsk region as well as one in Ukraine's northern region of Sumy, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Saturday. Since their failed advance on Kyiv in the first weeks of the war, Russian forces have been focusing on capturing the Donbas in the east, made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Ukrainian forces likely struck Russia's Migalovo Airbase tonight, with multiple explosions spotted in the area.
