In his speech, Zelenskyy said Russia had also struck the Sumy and Donetsk regions on Sunday with guided bombs.
He said the Russian army carried out “at least 100 such air attacks” daily.
It is to prevent these sorts of attacks that Ukraine is asking for permission to strike military targets deep inside Russia from Western allies, who remain hesitant for fear of an escalation.
Also Sunday, Russian shelling killed one person in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, local authorities said, as Moscow’s troops inched closer to the key logistics hub.
More than 20,000 people – almost half of its population – have fled the city since August, while Russian strikes over the past two weeks have cut off water and electricity to many of its remaining residents.
“Around 11:00 am (0800 GMT), the enemy shelled the western part of the city … Unfortunately, one person died,” Pokrovsk’s military administration said on Telegram.
