Russian strikes killed eight people across Ukraine on Sunday, authorities said, a day after Moscow vowed to continue its military campaign.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched more than 2,200 attack drones, 1,630 aerial bombs and 38 missiles of various types against Ukraine in the past week. A second source put the combined total at approximately 3,900 projectiles.
In the northern city of Sumy, Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi said three people, including a 16-year-old girl, were killed when air strikes damaged a children's centre.
Authorities in the Odesa region said a "massive strike" on the south of the Black Sea region killed one person and damaged residential buildings, a shop, a hotel, a medical building, and a grain warehouse.
Zelenskyy said three people were killed in strikes in the southern Zaporizhia region and that a Russian drone strike had killed one man in Kyiv.
In the capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a woman and two 16-year-olds were injured and hospitalised. "The enemy continues to relentlessly attack the Kyiv region with strike drones," the city's administration said. "Sixteen sites have been damaged", including 12 houses, a warehouse and a production facility, it added.
Less than a day after the Sunday attacks, a Russian guided aerial bomb struck an apartment block in northeastern Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, early on Monday, injuring at least 22 people, including six children.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekov announced the strike on his Telegram account, saying the bomb destroyed two floors of the multistorey building.
Zelenskyy condemned the continued bombardment, saying: "If Russia were truly preparing for any real steps towards de-escalation, as it claims, particularly to American negotiators, this wave of Shahed terror would not be happening."
Ukraine accused Moscow of deliberately targeting civilians as winter approaches. Both sides deny targeting civilians.
Russia's Ministry of Defence said it had bombed a Kyivstar data centre in Kyiv and another belonging to the Omega Telecom company, stating that both firms were providing services to the Ukrainian army.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday that Moscow intended to continue its military campaign "to the end."
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar region on Monday, according to local reports. Footage published by a Ukrainian Telegram channel identified the facility as the Pavlovskaya oil depot, showing a large fire. No injuries were reported.
Ukraine has intensified its targeting of Russian oil infrastructure in recent weeks.
US-led talks to end the war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, have failed to produce a breakthrough. The United Nations has highlighted the growing civilian toll of the conflict.
