Russia has launched a number of coordinated attacks on Ukraine’s railway infrastructure, in an attempt to disrupt the nation’s military supply lines

Five people have been killed as a result of the assault, with Russia’s defence force confirming its missiles destroyed six railway facilities.

These facilities were being used by Ukraine to supply Ukrainian forces with weapons arriving from western allies.

Russia is demanding “an end” to further US proposals to provide more weapons to Ukraine, with Russia’s ambassador in Washington sending a “diplomatic note”.

The US has pledged an additional hundreds of millions of dollars during a visit to Kyiv by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin.

It has also been confirmed Britain will supply Ukraine “a small number” of Stormer armoured vehicles, while noting approximately 15,000 Russian military personnel have been killed since Putin’s invasion began.

It comes as the United Nations Secretary General travels to Moscow, scheduled to be received by Russian President Vladimir Putin, before a working meeting and lunch with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

On Thursday, the Secretary General will then travel to Ukraine to speak with Volodymyr Zelensky and the country’s foreign minister.
