Russia is striking Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities tonight with a massive missile and drone barrage. The development comes as Russia vowed to up the tempo of the war, in an attempt to bring the conflict to a close, and respond to Ukrainian long-range attacks on Russian cities and infrastructure, and specifically the targeting of a school dorm in Luhansk where scores of students were killed.
Below, citizens of the Ukrainian capital can be seen crowded into underground subway stations to avoid the explosive attacks above the surface.
