Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has called for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council after Russia intensified its attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Wednesday.
«The killing of civilians, the destruction of civilian infrastructure are acts of terror. Ukraine continues to demand a resolute response from the international community to these crimes,» the president said on his official Twitter profile.
Authorities in Kiev reported on Wednesday that at least three people have been killed and six wounded by new shelling carried out by Russian forces against several points of the country, which has caused blackouts and cuts in drinking water supply in several areas.
Oleksii Kuleba, spokesman for the local authorities, warned that Russia has attacked vital infrastructure, as well as the «residential sector» of the city, and expressed that there is a danger that these attacks may be repeated.
