      Ukraine President Zelensely accused Russia of killing Ukranian people on "battlefield and in peaceful cities".

      The world once again saw the true face of a terrorist state that is killing our people. On the battlefield & in peaceful cities. A country that covers its true bloody essence & goal with talks about peace. It proves that the liberation of 🇺🇦 is the only basis of peace & security. pic.twitter.com/U08lD1POE9

      300 cities and towns out of power

      The strikes affect life across Ukraine as people scrambled to take shelter. The Associated Press report said that around 300 cities and towns across Ukraine were out of power.

      Lviv is one of the affected cities which has lost power on Tuesday again due to fresh strikes. BBC quoted mayor Andriy Sadovyi as saying that the city had managed to reconnect 95% of its electricity on Monday night, only to go back to 30% of the city having no electricity.

      Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, said on Twitter, "Primary targets of Russian strikes are energy facilities. They've hit many yesterday and they hit the same and new ones today. These are war crimes planned well in advance and aimed at creating unbearable conditions for civilians — Russia's deliberate strategy since months."

      What has Russia said?

      Russia had last attacked Kyiv on June 26. On Sunday, Russia blamed Ukraine for Kerch Bridge explosion that left three dead. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of severe consequences after the explosion.

      "Let there be no doubt, if attempts at terrorist attacks continue, the response from Russia will be severe," Putin said. He called the bridge explosion a "terrorist act" and accused the "Ukrainian secret services" of carrying it out.

      Russia's former President Dmitry Medvedev said the strikes on Ukranian cities were just the "first episode" as he warned of more attacks. "The first episode has been played. There will be others," Medvedev said.

      Medvedev, who is now the deputy chairman of Russia's Security, is on Ukraine's wanted list for over six months now for attempting to "undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity and the inviolability of its borders."

      World leaders rally behind Ukraine

      Zelensky took to Twitter on Monday and said that several world leaders had dialled him as a show of support and solidarity amid Russian strikes.

      Productive conversation with @POTUS. Air defense is currently the number 1 priority in our defense cooperation.
      We also need US leadership with the G7's tough stance and with support for our UN GA resolution.

      — Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 10, 2022


      Had a phone call with 🇨🇦 Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau. Stressed the importance of a strong #G7 reaction to the Russian missile terror. Ukraine needs an air shield to protect civilians and critical infrastructure.

      — Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) October 10, 2022


      Thanked @antonioguterres for the strong condemnation of Russia's massive missile attack on 🇺🇦. Informed in detail about the scale & consequences of another Russia's bloody crime. We are unanimous - the world must react ASAP. Discussed the situation at ZNPP & the grain initiative
