Russian forces have fired a wave of missiles and self-exploding drone attacks at the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, killing at least 11 and injuring 11 more.
The early morning strike on Thursday led to first attack-related death of the year in Kyiv even as air defences shot down many of the incoming projectiles.
The attacks adhered to Russia's recent pattern of launching widespread strikes about every two weeks.
But the wave of weapons came a day after Germany and the United States upped the ante in Russia's 11-month war by promising to send high-tech battle tanks to Ukraine and green-lighting other allies to do the same.
