President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that 85 missiles were launched against Ukraine on Tuesday and 20 more are expected to hit the country.
In a video shared on Telegram, he also warned residents to stay in shelters.
The deputy head of the president’s office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said the situation across the country was “critical” after missiles battered energy facilities, forcing emergency shutdowns and plunging parts of Kyiv into darkness.
“Russian terrorists carried out another planned attack on energy infrastructure facilities,” he said.
The situation in the capital Kyiv was, he added, “extremely difficult”.
