Relatives attend the funeral of Illya Shklyaruk, 25, an Irpin citizen involved in evacuations of his neighbours from the town and killed inside his car by a gun shot by Russian Army on March 8, at the cemetery of Irpin, on the outskirts of Kyiv, Monday, April 25, 2022

RUSSIA targeted Ukrainian rail and fuel facilities as part of its latest offensive today after US diplomats met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The string of attacks, using missiles and warplanes, took place far from the front lines of Russia’s eastern offensive in an apparent bid to slow the movement of Ukrainian supplies and disrupt the flow of fuel.

Oleksandr Kamyshin, the head of the state-run Ukrainian Railways, said that five railway facilities in central and western Ukraine were hit early in the day, including a missile attack near the western city of Lviv.
