Russian forces launched new deadly attacks on Ukraine, killing at least nine people on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), a day before the leaders of countries that are some of Ukraine's biggest backers were to discuss how to slow Moscow's offensive.Ukrainian authorities said that along with the nine killed, 29 others, including five children, were wounded when Russian missiles hit an apartment block in Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown.Zelenskyy said the strike had again proven that "Ukraine, together with its partners, must strengthen its air defences" - something that he has repeatedly appealed for with Ukraine's Western partners. The United States has agreed to send another Patriot missile system, two US officials said.
