Russia has attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles and drones, killing at least 21 people, as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said interceptors "could have saved lives". Kyiv and the surrounding region experienced the deadliest strikes it had seen this year overnight, with 17 people reported dead. Ukraine, who has consistently urged allies for more US-made Patriot missile interceptors to defend against Russian ballistics, has not reported intercepting any of the missiles in the overnight attack. Russia's defence ministry said it had struck logistics hubs and supply centres in Kyiv and the surrounding region. Fires were still being extinguished in five locations across the Kyiv region on Wednesday, covering an area of approximately 230,000 sq m, it added.
