At least 14 people, including three children, were killed and dozens injured in widespread strikes, officials said. The attack came a day after the Ukrainian capital Kyiv suffered one of the heaviest assaults of the war.

Russia has been ignoring calls for a ceasefire.

"Without really strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this cruelty cannot be stopped," Ukraine's president said. "America's silence will only encourage Putin," Volodymyr Zelensky added in an apparent effort to exert pressure on US President Donald Trump who has said the Russian leader is interested in ending the war.

Ukraine's Air Force said that since 20:40 on Saturday local time (17:40 GMT), Russia had carried out strikes using 367 missiles of various types, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones.
