Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would retaliate for Russia's strikes on the capital Kyiv, which killed at least 21 people. Dozens more were wounded in the attack.
Zelensky visited an apartment block that was partially destroyed in the strike. Asked by reporters whether Ukraine would respond, he replied simply: "Definitely."
The recent uptick in attacks has again drawn attention to the war's toll on civilian areas. Ukrainian officials are pressing allies for additional air-defence support to intercept incoming missiles and drones. Diplomatic efforts by international parties to de-escalate the conflict are also being closely watched in the days ahead.
