Just this morning, twelve people have died, and dozens injured in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih after a Russian missile attack.

It's the latest attack in a week where both countries have accused each other of new attacks against each other's energy facilities, citing a US-brokered moratorium, although there is no formal agreement in place.

Meanwhile the Russian president's investment envoy has been meeting officials in Washington - he's the highest ranking Russian official to go to the states since the start of the war. 

It comes as US President Trump was said to be angry at Putin over the state of negotiations to end the war.
