Ukraine said on July 3 that the death toll from a massive barrage on its capital had risen to at least 30 people, as both Kiev and Moscow vowed fresh assaults.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his forces would "definitely" retaliate for the Wednesday to Thursday overnight pummelling, as he inspected an apartment block that was partially destroyed.
The European Union's top diplomat proposed new sanctions on Moscow, as Zelensky pressed the United States for licences to manufacture Patriot air-defense missiles.
