Terrifying pictures have shown a house in Bucha, on the outskirts of Kyiv, engulfed by flames after a reported Russian drone strike on a house in the Kyiv area, which killed one and injured two more.

Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky’s security chief has warned Vladimir Putin will move on to Poland and the Czech Republic if he is victorious in Ukraine as part of a master strategy to recreate the Soviet Union.

A post by Ukrainian Telegram channel Suspilnenews said: “The body of a deceased person was discovered while extinguishing a fire in a private house in the Buchansky district of the Kyiv region, the OVA reported. Two more people were injured.

“In the region, five private houses were damaged due to shelling, the glazing of apartments in four high-rise buildings, two garages, three cars were destroyed and eight more were damaged.”

Kyrylo Budanov, addressing Yalta European Strategy’s special gathering on Tuesday, said: “The empire that the current leadership of the Russian Federation is leaning toward is a model of the Soviet Union but with the Warsaw Pact countries.

“Poland will be the next one. I am telling you this directly. And there is no need to be afraid of it, it is necessary to realise it. Then there will be the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Bulgaria.”
