Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a Russian attack that killed 12 people constitutes a "gift" for Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of his birthday.
According to Zelensky, Ukrainian energy infrastructure continues to be a key target of Russian attacks, as part of a sustained campaign against the country's energy system.
The Ukrainian president renewed his appeal to Ukraine's international partners for additional air defense systems, as attacks against civilian and energy infrastructure continued.
During the attack, Kyiv residents spent the night sheltering in the city's metro stations, a common practice during large-scale air bombardments.
