 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

 Netherlands considers sending migrants to Uganda


The Netherlands is looking at the possibility of sending rejected asylum seekers to Uganda, a Dutch media report said on Wednesday, as the country's far-right-led government moved to limit immigration.


Dutch Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Minister Reinette Klever was visiting the East African nation this week where she spoke to Ugandan ministers about migration, the NOS public broadcaster reported.


"In the end we want to curb migration," said Klever, who belongs to the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of anti-immigration lawmaker Geert Wilders, AFP reported.


"It's important for the cabinet that rejected asylum seekers return to their country of origin. And that's where it sometimes stalls," she told the NOS.


"We have a long relationship with Uganda and it is a hospitable country," said Klever, adding that Asylum and Migration Minister Marjolein Faber would look into the issue.


Asked about the comments, a ministerial spokesperson told AFP that Klever "had briefly discussed a number of possibilities for reception" in the region including in Uganda.


"That plan is still in its early stages," Jeroen van Dommelen said in an email.


The Dutch cabinet "must first investigate what the wishes of Uganda and the Netherlands are and what legally is possible and desirable," he added.


Wilders's PVV scored a major victory in elections last year and the firebrand lawmaker has promised "the strictest migration policy ever" to tackle what he termed an "asylum crisis" in the Netherlands.


Last week EU countries discussed "innovative" ways to increase deportations of irregular migrants and rejected asylum seekers including controversial plans to set up dedicated return centres outside the bloc.
