At least four people, including a 10-year-old child, were killed and over 40 people injured when Russia struck a high-rise apartment in Kryvyi Rih.
Oleksiy Kuleba, the deputy head of Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office, said: “Every day, Ukrainian cities are under fire from Russian terrorists. Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kharkiv. This is only for the last few days.”
Kuleba affirmed that targeting civilians was a sign of “the despair and defeat of the Russian Federation at the front”.
Earlier this day, three Ukrainian drones that were shot down over Moscow damaged a high-rise building containing government offices and briefly shut an international airport, according to reports.
“War is returning to the territory of Russia,” Zelenskiy warned, adding that was “an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process” and that Russia’s symbolic centers and military bases would be targeted.
The Kremlin said on Monday that Ukraine’s counteroffensive was “not working out as planned” and that Nato resources supplied to Kyiv had been “wasted”.
On his part, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia would take additional measures to defend against Ukrainian drone strikes.
