Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the world to act after Russia hit western Ukraine with its new Oreshnik ballistic missile in a massive overnight attack that killed four in the capital Kyiv.

"A clear reaction from the world is needed. Above all from the United States, whose signals Russia truly pays attention to," Zelensky said on social media.

"Russia must receive signals that it is its obligation to focus on diplomacy, and must feel consequences every time it again focuses on killings and the destruction of infrastructure," he added.
