Russian strikes killed eight people across Ukraine on Sunday, Ukrainian authorities said, as attacks reached Kyiv and areas near the Polish border.
A Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in central Kyiv, setting the building ablaze and killing one person, according to Al Jazeera. The Telegraph also reported that scientists were targeted in strikes on the capital. Ukrainian officials accused Moscow of deliberately attacking civilians as winter approaches.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had launched about 3,900 drones, aerial bombs and missiles against Ukraine during the previous week. The latest attacks came a day after Moscow vowed to continue the war.
Poland scrambled military aircraft in response to Russian strikes on western Ukraine, The Guardian reported. Ukrainian and Polish reporting also described a Russian strike near Poland’s border, while residents in the border region were preparing for the possibility of a Russian hybrid attack.
Separately, Reuters reported that a United Nations report linked widespread sexual violence during the war in Ukraine to Russia.
