Russia increases shelling across Ukraine

Dozens of Russian missiles struck targets across Ukraine with the capital Kyiv and the city Lviv enduring their heaviest barrages in months.

The escalation by Russian forces ended weeks of relative quiet across the Western half of Ukraine and came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for more arms from Western nations.
