Russia attacked the Ukrainian president’s home town with suicide drones on Sunday, and Ukraine pushed ahead with its counter-offensive after taking back control of a strategic eastern city.

Russia’s loss of Lyman, which it had been using as a transport and logistics hub, is a new blow to the Kremlin as it seeks to escalate the war by illegally annexing four regions of Ukraine.
