Russia's Long-Range Missiles Hit Zelenskiy's Home City For A Second Day

The latest attack on the home city of Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, caused serious damage.

Two missiles struck the same reservoir hit previously, which was being repaired, Kryvyi Rih's military administrator, Oleksandr Vilkul, said.

He urged residents to stay in shelters.

The strikes came as Zelenskiy met with the European Commission's president, Ursula von der Leyen, who was in Kyiv on her third visit since Russia's full-scale invasion. Zelenskiy described Russia's tactics in his late-night address as the work of "weaklings and scoundrels" who had fled the battlefield and were doing harm from "far away".

Speaking yesterday, he said the Kremlin was cynically targeting thousands of civilians in revenge for its military defeats. "We are not talking about army infrastructure here. This isn't a surprise for us," he said.
