“These are not random strikes - these are show strikes. After calls and meetings with Putin, after all the false gossip in the media about supposedly ‘refraining’ from strikes. Russia is showing what it is really interested in: only war,” he said.
National police said that seven police officers, a medic and two residents had been killed, and 14 police officers were among the wounded.
Russia unleashed its largest overnight missile attack on Ukraine in almost three months on Sunday, killing seven people and further hobbling an already damaged energy system.
Later on, a Russian missile hit a residential building in the Sumy region, killing 11 including two children and wounding 89.
