Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to hold Russia accountable after a barrage of cruise missiles killed more than two dozen people last week, as battles rage in the east of the country ahead of an anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive.

The missiles unleashed by Russia on Friday struck several regions. Among the strikes was an apartment building in the central city of Uman, where at least 23 people were killed, including several children.
