Ukrainian civilians and troops speak of horror and hardship of Russia’s war – BBC News

People in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, had to queue for water after Russian missiles struck key facilities across the country on Monday.

An update from the city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said 40% of consumers in Kyiv remained without water and 270,000 homes had no power.

Russia said the strikes were aimed at Ukraine's military control and energy systems and that all targets were hit.
