> Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukraine has “opened Pandora’s box” by targeting Russian economic sites, warning that Moscow will retaliate against Ukraine’s most sensitive economic sectors. His remarks followed a deadly Russian drone strike on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih that killed at least 16 people and injured more than 130. Rescue workers are still searching the wreckage for missing people.
