The city's mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, said it was to honour the dead, as a massive recovery effort continues at the five-storey block of flats where 22 of the 23 were killed.

The attack has been widely condemned - the White House said President Donald Trump was "not happy" but not surprised, while European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia would "stop at nothing to terrorise Ukraine".

Meanwhile, EU defence ministers are meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark to discuss support for Ukraine.

The drone and missile strikes also damaged the EU's diplomatic mission and the British Council building in central Kyiv.
