Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba urged Kyiv's partners to grant permission for long-range strikes into Russia after Moscow staged a missile attack on Kyiv on Monday.

"In defending itself against these two barbaric war machines, Ukraine is forced to fight with hands tied behind its back. Isn’t this absurd?" Kuleba said on X.

He added that Russia fired North Korean missiles on Monday, and called on Asian partners to consider increasing military aid to Ukraine.
