The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will meet on Tuesday to discuss the humanitarian situation in Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing war.

The meeting was requested by France, a permanent member of the UNSC, and Mexico.

The meeting comes a day after Russia unleashed a new barrage of missiles on Ukraine, killing two people and destroying homes in the southeast, and causing major power outages, according to officials.

The attack followed a spate of heavy Russian airstrikes on energy facilities in recent weeks. Netblocks, a London-based internet monitor said connectivity had plunged in Ukrainian regions during the strikes.

Meanwhile, the strikes sent throngs of people into the Ukrainian capital's vast underground metro to take shelter as temperatures hovered at around -5 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit).
