Ukrainian officials have given the all clear after raid sirens wailed in Kyiv and across the country this morning but no new Russian attacks were reported
Unconfirmed reports had suggested the sirens may have been triggered after Russian jets took to the skies in Belarus and that the all-clear was sounded after the planes returned to their bases.Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesperson for Ukraine's air forces, told national television earlier that Russian military jets were flying virtually around the clock.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February has triggered the most deadly conflict in Europe since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.The Kremlin says it will fight until all its aims are achieved while Ukraine says it will not rest until every Russian soldier is ejected from all of its territory, including Crimea which Russia annexed in 2014.
