Russia hit Ukraine’s southern port city of Odesa with a massive drone strike overnight, just hours after top officials from the Kremlin and the US concluded their first round of talks aimed at ending the war.

The attack injured at least four people and left 160,000 without power and heating in Odesa with temperatures dropping well below freezing, local authorities said.
