Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has targeted Ukrainian territory almost daily, using drones and missiles. On Friday, at least six people were killed in the same building in Kiev during a Russian attack.
Moscow has also stepped up its bombing campaign against energy infrastructure in recent weeks as winter approaches. Kiev, for its part, regularly targets oil depots, refineries and other facilities in Russia.
The Russian army continues to advance on the front line, especially in the Zaporozhye (southern) region, which is partially occupied by Moscow. Russia claimed on Sunday the conquest of two more villages.
