European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia is "pursuing a deliberate strategy of terror" following a series of deadly strikes across Ukraine.
"Russia is pursuing a deliberate strategy of terror. Trying to make daily life impossible for Ukrainians who want to live in peace," von der Leyen said, adding that "to protect people and infrastructure, Europe is stepping up. Others must step up their support too."
Ukraine's president confirmed a series of attacks on the cities of Pryluky, Dnipro, Kremenchuk, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv, though further details on casualties and the specific scale of the strikes were not immediately specified in the reported remarks.
Calls for greater support
Von der Leyen's comments included a call for international partners to increase their support for Ukraine, framing the latest wave of strikes as part of a broader pattern of attacks targeting civilian life and infrastructure across the country.
The strikes come amid continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, with European officials repeatedly emphasizing the need for sustained military and humanitarian assistance to Kyiv.
