- The toll from Russia’s missile attack on a crowded shopping centre in Kremenchuk has risen to at least 18 dead and 59 wounded, officials say.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described the raid as “one of the most defiant terrorist attacks in European history,” adding that Russia is the largest terrorist organisation in the world.
- Western leaders have condemned the attack, calling it “sickening,” “cruel” and “horrendous,” and have promised to hold Russia accountable.
- The United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday on Russia’s targeting of civilians, with the Kremenchuk attack being “the main focus”, the UN body states.
- Russian forces are storming the city of Lysychansk from the south and southwest, trying to block the city from that direction and as well as its transport links to the Donetsk region, the governor of Luhansk says.
