Police said a total of at least 10 people were killed and around 60 others were wounded in the morning attacks across Ukraine. The country's Emergency Service said nine people were killed. The conflicting numbers couldn't immediately be reconciled.
The missile strikes marked the biggest and most widespread Russian attacks in months. Putin, whose partial mobilization order earlier this month triggered an exodus of hundreds of thousands of men of fighting age from Russia, stopped short of declaring martial law or a counterterrorism operation as many had expected.
Some of the strikes hit near the government quarter in the symbolic heart of the capital, where Parliament and other major landmarks are located. A glass tower housing offices was significantly damaged, most of its blue-tinted windows blown out. The targets were civilian areas and energy facilities in 10 cities, Zelenskyy said in a video address. " chose such a time and such targets on purpose to inflict the most damage," Zelenskyy said.
Nearby, at least one strike landed in the popular Shevchenko Park, leaving a large hole near a children's playground. Associated Press journalists in Dnipro city saw the bodies of multiple people killed at an industrial site on the city's outskirts. Windows in the area had been blown out and glass littered the street. A telecommunications building was hit.
A day earlier, Putin had called the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea a terrorist act carried out by Ukrainian special services. In a meeting Sunday with the chairman of Russia's Investigative Committee, Putin said "there's no doubt it was a terrorist act directed at the destruction of critically important civilian infrastructure."
