Russia launched a fresh volley of strikes on Ukraine early Sunday, killing one person and wounding more than a dozen others in at least four separate regions, according to regional officials.
In his call with Macron, Zelenskyy said Moscow’s strikes had become “even more vile”.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, describing it as a “special military operation” to demilitarise the country and prevent the expansion of NATO.
Kyiv and its European allies say the war is an illegal land grab that has resulted in tens of thousands of civilian and military casualties and widespread destruction.
Millions of Ukrainians have been forced to leave their homes since 2022, while Russia now occupies around a fifth of Ukrainian territory – much of it ravaged by fighting.
