Friday's attack adds to growing anger and frustration among Kyiv residents as they face winter cold and darkness amid rampant power outages.

Russian launched its deadliest attack in weeks against Kyiv, killing six people in the Ukrainian capital and causing widespread damage to residences.

At least five people have been killed from ongoing Russian attacks in the Kyiv region early Friday morning, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

A strike that killed six was the latest in a series of aerial assaults, many of which have targeted the power grid in an effort to deprive Ukrainians of energy as winter looms.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday accused Russia of launching a “wicked” wave of strikes that killed at least four people and wounded dozens, saying debris from an Iskander missile also struck the Azerbaijani Embassy in Kyiv.

At least 11 people, including a pregnant woman, have been injured from ongoing Russian attacks in the Kyiv region early Friday morning, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

Almost four years of conflict have taken their toll and the war of attrition is continuing on the homefront - but many Ukrainians are fighting to keep morale high.

Millions of Ukrainians are enduring cold temperatures and darkness after a wave of Russian attacks against energy facilities caused widespread power outages across the country.
