Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian President, has said Russian bombardments could leave the entire region of Donbas "uninhabited", accusing the Russians of wanting to reduce its cities to ashes.
"All this, including the deportation of our people and the mass killings of civilians, is an obvious policy of genocide pursued by Russia," he said in his nightly televised address.
