00:00Russia has launched one of the deadliest overnight strikes on Kyiv,
00:04killing at least 15 people, including four children.
00:08Hundreds of drones and missiles rained down on the capital
00:11and a dozen other locations across Ukraine.
00:14Kyiv-Meir called it one of the biggest attacks on the city in recent months.
00:18The attacks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war.
00:22But after more than three and a half years since the war started,
00:26fighting shows no signs of slowing.
00:30President Vladimir Zelensky responded by saying
00:32Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table,
00:37calling for stronger sanctions against Moscow.
00:40Despite high-level meetings between US, Ukrainian and Russian leaders,
00:44efforts to end the war have yielded little.
