<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have ordered the "masssive" strike in answer to Ukraine's alleged attack on the bridge linking Russia and Crimea three days back on Saturday (October 8th).</p>

<p>The United States, however, said that attacks on such a scale could not have been put together in just a couple of days.</p>

<p>Ukraine has vowed to strengthen its armed forces with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his nightly address vowed "we will make the battlefield more painful for the enemy," adding that "we will do everything to strengthen our armed forces."</p>

Fresh Russian strikes in Ukraine's Lviv, Zelensky seeks air defence weapons from West

At least 10 Ukrainian cities were struck by Russian missile attacks. Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened more strikes. Molly Gambhir tells you more.

Gravitas: Putin threatens more missile attacks on Ukraine

<p>In advance of an urgent G7 summit to discuss the most recent Russian attacks on Ukraine, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday that it anticipates further "confrontation" with the West.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The mood ahead of the summit is well understood, it is easily predictable. The confrontation will continue," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that Russia will "achieve its set goals" in Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Washington's promise to give Ukraine "advanced air defence systems" was also criticised by Peskov.</p>

<p>Tuesday's G7 crisis discussions will focus on Russia's latest bombing campaign in Ukraine, which Kyiv's supporters saw as a sign of desperation and a turning point in the war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A day after Russian rockets shook the Ukrainian capital for the first time in months, their meeting is taking place. Volodymyr Zelensky, the stubborn president, retaliated by telling Moscow that his nation "cannot be intimidated."&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Kyiv, Moscow's soldiers launched more than 80 missiles against Ukrainian cities on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Tuesday, Ukraine's emergency services reported that 19 people had died and more than 100 had been injured.</p>

<p>The United Nations stated on Tuesday that if civilians were purposefully targeted, the wave of attacks may have broken the rules of war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The purposeful targeting of civilians and civilian-related items "amounts to a war crime," said Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for the UN human rights office, who further stated that these attacks may have breached the norms of conduct of conflicts under international humanitarian law.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The massive bombardment on Monday appeared to be a reprisal for a Saturday blast that destroyed a crucial bridge connecting Russia to Crimea, a peninsula Moscow seized from Ukraine in 2014.</p>

<p>Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, attributed the bridge explosion to Ukraine and threatened "severe" retaliation for any more assaults.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The strikes on Monday, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, demonstrated Moscow's "desperation" following a string of humiliating military defeats.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Tuesday, Turkey urged Russia and Ukraine to implement a workable ceasefire "as soon as possible."</p>

<p>The United States will soon be unable to supply Ukraine with particular types of munitions that are crucial to Kyiv's fight against Russia's invasion,&nbsp;given that supplies are depleting more quickly than they can be renewed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the US inventories of some equipment are "approaching the minimal levels needed for war preparations and training," and refilling to pre-invasion levels might take years, according to Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in a recent analysis.</p>
