Reuters reports renewed Russian attacks on Kyiv that killed and injured civilians, prompting calls from President Volodymyr Zelensky for tougher sanctions and more air-defense support. Ukraine’s air force said it downed many incoming drones and missiles, but debris still caused damage in residential areas. Why it matters: sustained strikes keep pressure on Ukrainian air defenses ahead of winter and raise the stakes for Western resupply decisions. What to watch: additional Patriot and short-range systems, and whether EU/US sanctions packages tighten further. Reuters
