Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said Russian forces had launched a new wave of drone attacks, adding that some of the unmanned aerial vehicles had been shot down.

Zelensky, who spoke in a video address, did not say where the attacks had taken place.

"The world can and must stop this terror. When we talk about Ukraine's need for air and missile defense, we are talking about real lives that are being taken by terrorists," he said.

"This is not only in Ukraine's interest. The smaller Russia's terrorist capabilities are, the faster this war will end."

Russia fired dozens of drones at a number of cities during morning rush hour on Monday, killing at least four people in a Kyiv apartment building.
