Russian missiles and drones struck Kyiv in an overnight attack on Sunday with Ukrainian air defenses intercepting some of the incoming munitions.
The massive Russian strike damaged residential buildings, offices and schools, killing at least one person and injuring 21, officials said.
Russian President Putin on Friday ordered his military to prepare options to retaliate against Ukraine for what he described as a drone attack on a student dorm that killed six people in Starobilsk in Luhansk, a Russian-controlled region in eastern Ukraine.
Putin said Kyiv's military must have known what it was targeting. Ukraine's military denied the Russian accusations and said it had struck an elite drone command unit in the area.
