KYIV - Ukraine urged the West on Feb 7 to speed up and increase deliveries of artillery shells after a new Russian missile attack on Kyiv and other regions killed four in the capital and wounded more than 40.
Securing the shells has been a priority for Kyiv, which is burning through its reserves as Russia throws more manpower and resources at the front lines almost two years into its invasion.
"We will respond to every missile, every Shahed (drone)," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his daily address, sending condolences to the families of the victims.
"And our task this year is not only to maximise our air shield and long-range capabilities of Ukraine, but also to inflict maximum systemic losses on Russia," he said, after a meeting with EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell.
Ukraine's commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny said Russia used drones, cruise, ballistic and anti-aircraft missiles in the barrage.
He said Russia fired 44 missiles and 20 drones in the morning attack with Ukraine shooting down 15 drones and 29 missiles.
The strike on an 18-storey residential building in Kyiv's southern Golosiivsky district blew out windows across several floors, and sent dark smoke cascading into the sky from the destroyed facade.
