<p>Russia&nbsp;is trying to get Ukraine into fresh talks to buy time to regroup so it can launch a fresh offensive, a Ukraine presidential adviser told AFP Monday.</p>

<p>For weeks now, the Kremlin has been "trying to convince Ukraine to enter into negotiations", Mykhaylo Podolyak told AFP, as the sixth month of the war draws to a close.</p>

<p>During such talks, Moscow wanted to "freeze the conflict while preserving the status quo in the occupied Ukrainian territories", he added.</p>

<p>Russia&nbsp;"sends its proposals via various intermediaries", he said, without naming them, as Kyiv currently has no political contact with&nbsp;Russia.</p>

<p>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who met Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the beginning of August, has on several occasions said he is ready to act as an intermediary.</p>

<p>Erdogan visited Ukraine on Friday for the first time in six months.</p>

<p>Ukraine's position was that, in fact, Moscow did not really want serious peace talks, said Podolyak. Instead, he said, they were trying to get "an operation pause for its army" before launching a fresh offensive.</p>

<p>Kyiv has rejected any negotiated solution for Ukrainian territories under Russian occupation. It wants to recapture that territory, as well as territory held by Russian separatists in the east -- and Crimea, which&nbsp;Russia&nbsp;annexed in 2014.</p>

<p>"All other scenarios... only represent a dangerous operational pause before a new round of war," said Podolyak.</p>

<p>"Ukrainians are going to resist as long as it takes," he added.</p>

<p>"It's an existential war, we don't have any other solution. To abandon the fight means not only the destruction of the Ukrainian state, but also that of all its civilians."</p>

<p>The first talks between the two sides in the early weeks of the war did not produce any concrete results.</p>

Even as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson struggles to find supporters in his country in the wake of lockdown party scandals, the Conservative leader seems to have an admirer across the border in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv city where a bakery has created and named a pastry in honour of Johnson and his unruly hairdo. Cafe Zaertailo said they came up with the fabulous pastry as they were “inspired by the English apple pie and the charming haircut of Boris Johnson.” “Boris Johnson is not just a prime minister but is also now a croissant,” announced Cafe Zaertailo on Instagram Monday, June 6. The café added that this dish “dedicated to our British friends in tribute for their support in the war against Russia.” The pastry is described as “a croissant pastry crust, with custard vans, baked apples, Italian meringue and the final touch – a vat of old school ice cream on gumballs. And a charismatic croissant!” The cake, which costs 97 hryvnias (3 euros), has caught the attention of many online followers, with one commenting, “Now Boris Johnson just has to come to visit you for a croissant.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Завертайло.

UK defence ministry says recent attack on Kyiv likely attempt to disrupt western arms

Putin has threatened to hit new targets even after Russia targeted Kyiv for the first time in weeks. Putin has warned against the West sending long-range weapons to Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine conflict: Kyiv targeted for first time in weeks

In a recent update on Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine said they are losing 60 to 100 soldiers everyday. However, Ukraine continues to hold its position. For more perspective on this, we're joined by James Schwemlein; Strategic Analyst from Washington DC.

Ukraine-Russia war: 'Kyiv's military plane shot down,' says Russia

<p>Russia hit Kyiv with cruise missiles fired from the Caspian Sea on Sunday, striking a rail car repair facility in the Ukrainian capital, in the first such attack for weeks, Ukraine's army and railway chief said.</p>

<p>Dark smoke funnelled into the sky above Kyiv's eastern outskirts. At least one person was hospitalised though no deaths were immediately reported, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.</p>

<p>Ukrainian air defences shot down one incoming missile at around 6 a.m. local time (0300 GMT), the military said.</p>

<p>One Russian missile that was probably headed for Kyiv flew "critically low" over a major nuclear power plant in the southern Mykolaiv region, state-run nuclear power operator Energoatom said on Telegram.</p>

<p>Russia's Defence Ministry said its missiles had destroyed T-72 tanks and armoured vehicles supplied to Ukraine by eastern European countries that were housed in a rail car repair facility in Kyiv.</p>

<p>Oleksandr Kamyshin, head of the Ukrainian railway, confirmed that four missiles had smashed into the Darnytsia rail car repair facility in eastern Kyiv, but denied there had been any military hardware at the site.</p>

<p>"Their (Russia's) target is the economy and the civilian population," he said.</p>

<p>The sprawling railway system has served as a vital lifeline as Russia's Feb. 24 invasion has smashed the Ukrainian economy and severed export routes via the Black Sea.</p>

<p>The missiles were the first to hit the capital since late April when a Radio Liberty producer was killed in a Russian missile strike that hit the building she lived in.</p>

<p>"According to preliminary data, the (Russians) launched missiles from Tu-95 aircraft from the Caspian Sea," the Ukrainian air force said in a statement.</p>

<p>Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak called on the West to impose more sanctions on Russia to punish it for the strikes and to supply more weapons to Ukraine.</p>

<p>"The Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks. Today’s missile strikes at Kyiv have only one goal - kill as many as possible," he wrote in a tweet.</p>

<p>The mayor of the historic town of Brovary, around 20 km (12 miles) from Kyiv's centre, urged people to remain inside their homes as there had been reports of a sooty smell coming from the smoke.</p>

<p>Despite continuing Russian offensives in Ukraine and the widespread destruction, life in Kyiv has been relatively attack-free in recent weeks, after Moscow turned the focus of its invasion to the east and south.</p>

Russia's Defence Ministry said its missiles had destroyed T-72 tanks and armoured vehicles supplied to Ukraine by eastern European countries that were housed in a rail car repair facility in Kyiv. Oleksandr Kamyshin, head of the Ukrainian railway, confirmed that four missiles had smashed into the Darnytsia rail car repair facility in eastern Kyiv, but denied there had been any military hardware at the site. "Their (Russia's) target is the economy and the civilian population," he said. The sprawling railway system has served as a vital lifeline as Russia's Feb. 24 invasion has smashed the Ukrainian economy and severed export routes via the Black Sea. The missiles were the first to hit the capital since late April when a Radio Liberty producer was killed in a Russian missile strike that hit the building she lived in.

Air raid sirens regularly disrupt life in Kyiv, but there have been no major strikes on the city in several weeks.
