Defence Secretary John Healey visits Kyiv to discuss plans to provide more support to Ukraine.

These would be the first reported casualties since North Korea sent troops to support Russia in October.

Another 22 people are injured in Tuesday's strike on a clinic and residential buildings, officials say.

The Ukrainian president also claimed that 198,000 Russian soldiers had been killed and 550,000 wounded.

As 2024 draws to a close, Russian forces are continuing to push their Ukrainian opponents back.

But Zelensky points out no-one has yet made such an offer and whether Nato would consider a move is doubtful.

As a brutal winter looms, Russia is once again targeting power plants - forcing Ukrainians to adapt.

The intensified attacks come days after Russia tested a new missile on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
