Zelenskyy, who had described Sunday as "a good day, a powerful day" at the front, said Monday's Russian strikes had hit a residential and a university building in Kryvyi Rih, the steel city where he grew up, far from the front line. The gains make a total of more than 200 square kilometres retaken in the south since the Ukrainians launched a major Western-backed push against Russian forces early last month, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app.
"Tragic news. Four people have already died in Kryvyi Rih," Serhiy Lysak, the regional governor, wrote on Telegram. The city's mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said they included a girl, 10, and her 45-year-old mother and there could be as many as eight people trapped under the rubble.Two more civilians were reported killed in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, now on the front line after being recaptured from Russian forces in November.
