(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, MAR 6 - Ukraine stepped up attacks behind Russian lines on Wednesday with the apparent killing of a Russian election official in a car bomb and a drone assault on a metals plant. Strikes also rocked the Ukrainian port city of Odesa during a visit by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who was holding talks in the city with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Both Russia and Ukraine have increased their aerial attacks as Moscow's troops advance on the frontlines and Kyiv faces a shortage of manpower and weapons.
    "We heard the sound of sirens and explosions that took place near us. We did not have time to get to a shelter. It is a very intense experience," Mitsotakis said through a translator in Odesa. Zelensky said the strike had left "dead and wounded", but he did not have figures. (ANSA-AFP).
