Ukrainian President Zelensky has said that Russia has launched an assault to seize the eastern Donbas region.
Throughout Monday, Russia unleashed a barrage of rocket and artillery fire on a number of eastern areas, with eight civilians killed in the city of Kreminna in Luhansk and in the Donetsk area.
Seven people were killed and 11 more were injured in four Russian strikes in western Lviv, a city that was largely spared the attacks seen elsewhere in Ukraine.
