Mass heating outages caused by Russian strikes on Kyiv are set to last into the weekend, as the capital¡¯s mayor called on residents to temporarily leave the city with sub-zero temperatures expected to fall even lower.

A massive missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed four and ripped open apartment blocks. Moscow also fired its feared Oreshnik ballistic missile at western Ukraine, drawing condemnation from Europe.

The barrage came hours after Moscow rejected a plan by Kyiv and its Western allies to deploy peacekeeping forces to Ukraine should a ceasefire be reached.
