• One person was killed Sunday in Russian air strikes on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
• The death toll from Friday’s attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih rose to 19.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the intensifying Russian attacks showed that there is still insufficient international pressure on Moscow.

One person was killed Sunday as Russian air strikes hit the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, while the death toll from Friday’s deadly attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih continued to rise.

The Kyiv victim was found close to the strike’s epicenter of the attack in the city’s Darnytskyi district, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. A further three people were injured in the strike, which saw fires break out in several nonresidential areas, damaging cars and buildings.

In a statement on social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the intensifying Russian attacks showed that there is still insufficient international pressure on Moscow.

“These attacks are (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s response to all international diplomatic efforts. Each of our partners — the United States, all of Europe, the entire world — has seen that Russia intends to continue the war and the killing,” Zelenskyy said.

“That is why there can be no easing of pressure. All efforts must be aimed at guaranteeing security and bringing peace closer.

Officials said that the death toll from Friday’s attack on the central city of Kryvyi Rih had risen to 19, including many children, and a further 75 people were wounded. Oleksandr Vilkul, Kryvyi Rih’s military administration head, declared three days of mourning starting on April 7, stating there was “pain in the hearts of millions of people.” He urged that the enemy would be punished for every Ukrainian and for every mother’s tear.

Russian troops fired 23 missiles and 109 strike and decoy drones across Ukraine overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force on Sunday. Thirteen missiles and 40 drones were shot down, while 53 decoy drones were jammed and did not reach their destinations. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that its air defenses had destroyed 11 Ukrainian drones. The Russian military reported that it had launched a high-precision missile strike with a high-explosive warhead on a restaurant where a meeting with unit commanders and Western instructors was taking place. The military’s claims could not be independently verified. The Ukrainian General Staff rejected these claims.
