Russia pounded Kyiv and surrounding areas with hundreds of drones and missiles on Sunday, firing an Oreshnik hypersonic missile near the capital in one of the heaviest bombardments of the city since the start of the four-year war.
The hours-long overnight barrage killed two people in Kyiv and two more in the surrounding area, and it wounded nearly 100, according to Ukrainian officials.
Dozens of residential buildings and several schools had been damaged, many in the centre of Kyiv.
European leaders condemned the Kyiv attack, with Britain and Germany describing the use of the Oreshnik as an 'escalation'.
The attack caused minor damage to Ukraine's cabinet building and to the Foreign Ministry, and badly damaged Kyiv's national art museum and philharmonic hall.
One of the strikes destroyed a newly opened museum commemorating the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, eliciting angry words from Zelenskiy when he visited the scene.
It was only the third time that Russia has used the Oreshnik missile against Ukraine since the war began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
