Russia’s defence ministry said it has continued to launch what it called a massive strike on Ukraine’s energy and military infrastructure using “high-precision long-range air and sea-based” weapons.
The defence ministry said the purpose of the strike has been achieved and “all designated facilities have been hit”, however, regional heads across Ukraine say attacks are ongoing, with strikes reported in Lviv and Zaporizhzhia this morning.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says Russia deliberately targeting energy facilities amounts to a war crime aimed at creating “unbearable conditions for civilians”, adding that the strikes had been planned well in advance, in a post on Twitter.
Russia has denied its forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine.
