Ukraine’s foreign minister calls for complete EU entry ban on Russians participating in the war.
At least four people, including a woman and her child, have been killed in Russian drone attacks on Ukraine, according to local officials.
The Ukrainian air force said in a statement on Monday that Russian forces fired 11 ballistic missiles and 149 drones across Ukraine overnight.
The attacks killed a woman and her 10-year-old son in a residential area of the eastern town of Bohodukhiv, as well as a 71-year-old man in the northern Chernihiv region, Ukrainian officials said.
Another person was killed and two others wounded in the southern port city of Odesa, according to regional Governor Oleh Kiper. Residential infrastructure and a gas pipeline were also damaged in an attack on a residential building in the area, said Kiper, accusing Russia of committing “another war crime … against civilians”.
At least nine others, including a 13-year-old girl, were wounded by drones that struck the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, according to Governor Oleksandr Hanzha.
Hezbollah says its attack is in response to the killing of Iran’s Khamenei and ‘in defence of Lebanon and its people’.
