Putin rejects ‘outlandish’ ceasefire proposals, says Russian strikes are crippling Ukraine

French president is working on European alternatives to US Patriot missile system and expresses ‘horror’ at deadly attack on shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih.

Ukraine has this summer escalated a campaign of drone strikes targeting Russian economic infrastructure, including oil refineries and online retailers' warehouses, seeking to destroy infrastructure it says is central to Russia's war effort.

This Saturday saw a continued exchange of fire between Kyiv and Moscow.

At least 13 people were killed in strikes overnight and through Saturday – seven in Ukraine, four in Russia and two in Russia-annexed Crimea.
