A string of Russian attacks killed and injured civilians in widely separated parts of Ukraine, officials said. The number of people killed in the central city of Dnipro after Russian missile attacks rose to five, including a child, local officials said. A Russian glide bomb killed one person and injured three on Saturday in Kostiantynivka, near the frontline in Donetsk region, the regional governor said. Russian shelling also killed two people in a small town west of the southern city of Kherson. And a Russian drone strike killed a teenager in Kyiv during a night-time barrage on the Ukrainian capital that lasted for hours, officials said.

The latest attacks prompted Volodymyr Zelenskyy to issue a new call to Kyiv’s allies on Saturday to intensify pressure on Moscow. In his nightly video address, he said the assaults showed Russia was “determined to continue its aggression”, adding, “these are conditions in which the lack of stronger decisions from partners to support Ukraine only encourages Putin to invest further in terror,” Zelenskyy said. “The world can stop the escalation of war. Abstractions and words are not enough for this. Concrete steps are needed.”
