Sunday's strikes killed four people, including a mother and her baby, and damaged Ukraine's main government building in Kyiv for the first time.

The attack - which Ukraine said involved at least 810 drones and 13 missiles - has led to growing calls for stronger Western action against President Vladimir Putin.

Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that no sanctions would ever be able to force Russia to "change the consistent position that our president has repeatedly spoken about".

Speaking to reporters after the bombardment, the US president said he was "not happy with the whole situation."
