After a period of relative calm, relative for this war mind, scores of missiles have evaded Ukraine's defences and struck targets across the country.

The Russians were targeted energy infrastructure, power lines, power plants, including one nuclear,

plunging hundreds of thousands into cold and darkness.

But plenty of civilian targets were also destroyed, either by accident or design.

And frankly, it's happened so often now. The assumption has to be they were targeted

intentionally. Still, the Russians claim the barrage was in response to what they described

as a terrorist attack on Russian territory in Briansk. Others point to the bloody entrenched battles

around Bacmout on the eastern frontier. The Russians have lost tens of thousands of troops,

attempting to take and hold a town not exactly thought of

as desperately strategically significant.

With the tempo of the conflict expected to accelerate significantly

as the country comes out of winter,

we appear no closer to conclusion than on day one of the war. I'm Neil Patterson,

and this is the Sky News Daily. Our chief correspondent, Stuart Ramsey, was in Kiev when the

attack took place. Ukraine is never going to give up. I just think that this could go on forever,

but they're just not going to give up.

We will be hearing much more from him shortly.

But the story of the day is that barrage of missiles that struck across the country.

We were sent this voice note from Ukrainian MP, Andrei Ozzytruck, who's in Kiev.

We had another mass missile attack on Ukraine.

The officials are reporting that more than 13 regions were under attack.

Kiev is one of them.
