Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has used an interview with former Fox News television presenter Tucker Carlson to urge Washington to persuade Ukraine to enter peace talks.

Mr Putin repeated his claim that “the special military operation” was necessary to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine and prevent the country from posing a threat to Russia by joining Nato.
