Several people have been killed after Russia launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine since August.<\/p>\n

More than 200 missiles and drones were deployed, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, as he condemned a “massive combined strike” on “all regions”.<\/p>\n

Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister, said “peaceful cities” and “sleeping civilians” were targeted.<\/p>\n

Moscow is focused on the “energy infrastructure throughout Ukraine” and is trying to “intimidate” Ukrainians with “cold and lack of light”, Mr Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n

The president added: “The whole world sees and knows that we are defending ourselves against absolute evil, which does not understand any language but force.<\/p>\n

“We need unity [and] the world needs unity. Only together can we stop this evil.”<\/p>\n

Two people were killed and a 17-year-old boy was injured after a Russian attack in the Black Sea port of Odesa, regional governor Oleh Kiper said.<\/p>\n

Energy infrastructure was damaged, he said, leading to “interruptions in the supply of heat, water and electricity”.<\/p>\n

In Mykolaiv, southern Ukraine, officials said two people were killed in a Russian drone attack.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s state emergency service said a multi-storey building, cars and a shopping centre were hit.<\/p>\n

Two women were killed and six injured, including two children, it added.<\/p>\n

In the central Dnipro region, two people died and three were wounded in a strike on a rail depot, while in Lviv, on the border with Poland, a woman was killed in a car.<\/p>\n

People took refuge in metro stations, while emergency services were pictured removing part of a Russian missile from an apartment block.<\/p>\n

Hypersonic missiles were among the 120 fired at Ukrainian territory, it said.<\/p>\n

Air defences were active in “almost all” regions of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Equipment at thermal power stations has been “seriously damaged” during Russian air strikes, Ukraine’s largest private energy provider said. DTEK said its staff were working on repairs.<\/p>\n

Poland scrambled its air force early on Sunday because of the “massive attack by the Russian Federation using cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles”.<\/p>\n

Mr Zelenskyy sent his condolences to anyone affected by the latest Russian attacks.<\/p>\n

He said “all necessary forces” were involved in restoring power and facilities.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, it will be 1,000 days since Russia launched what it calls its “special military operation”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
