The Armageddon attack by Putin saw multiple civilian casualties as horror footage from Kharkiv showed a blitzed residential area in ruins.
The Russian dictator regularly states that his forces do not strike civilians despite the latest fatal strikes.
Russia deployed missile aircraft’s as they unleashed the horror attacks onto cities around war-torn Ukraine including in the capital of Kyiv.
Nine were hurt in Kyiv as thick, black smoke was seen taking over the city skyline after a tall residential building was struck and left crumbling to the ground.
Kyiv was also reportedly shaken by ten devastating explosions that rocked the city and saw at least eight being rushed to hospital.
A Kh-101 missile was seen firing heat traps during the assault on Kyiv.
Kyiv mayor Vitalii Klitchko said: “An unexploded warhead of a rocket was found in one of the apartments in a residential building in Sviatoshynsky district.
“People are being evacuated from the house.”
A separate missile strike saw one dead in Pavlohrad.
It’s feared that the number of deaths and injuries could potentially rise as the rubble gets cleared away across the country.
Kharkiv was left without power in many areas as they were struck by at least seven explosions – one of which left a block of flats completely destroyed and on fire.
Two were killed in the missile attacks and 13 suffered bad injuries including a 10-year-old girl who was quickly rushed to the nearest hospital.
Two other women were left in a serious condition as kids were reported as having nasty cuts from flying shrapnel.
Explosions were also reported in the Sumy region, Dnepropetrovsk region and Zhitomyr, as Ukraine faced a barrage of viscous assaults.
In Kyiv’s Svyatoshinsky district, the area was left ablaze as buildings and cars were set on fire and devastation plagued those living nearby.
Some even made claims of seeing flying debris hitting young children.
The wave of strikes come days after the Tekstilshchiki district of Donetsk city was hit by Ukrainian troops and saw 27 people killed and at least 20 wounded.
Russian is believed to have taken revenge after the deaths were all blamed on Ukrainian shelling of civilians by Moscow.
Ukraine denied playing any role in the shelling and said Russia had hit the Putin-controlled market by themselves.
