Ukraine has indicated that it will continue its counter-offensive reclaiming land annexed by Russia in the south and east, despite yesterday’s escalation of missile attacks, a senior politician has told BBC News.
Our diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams spoke with Ihor Zhovkva, deputy head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office.
Zhovkva said Monday’s strikes were designed to cause panic, hitting major cities in the middle of rush hour.
But, he said, Russian President Vladimir Putin had failed to intimidate Ukrainians, even with the greater intensity of the strikes, which were seemingly targeted at both critical infrastructure and civilian targets.
