The World Health Organization said on Sunday it had confirmed "several" attacks on health care facilities in Ukraine.

The attacks caused "multiple deaths and injuries," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Twitter.

"Additional reports are being investigated," he said. "Attacks on healthcare facilities or workers breach medical neutrality and are violations of international humanitarian law."

Ukraine’s military on Sunday said it was "fighting fierce battles to maintain certain borders," including defending Chernihiv and Mariupol, cities targeted by Russian shelling.

"The enemy, suffering losses, makes constant attempts to avoid direct fire contact with our troops," military officials said, according to an official translation posted on Facebook.

An operation is underway to defend Chernihiv, a city about 100 miles north of Kyiv, the capital, the update said. In the east, the Ukrainian military’s "main efforts are focused on defending the city of Mariupol and inflicting fire damage on the overwhelming forces of the enemy."

Ukraine’s military claimed on Sunday to have destroyed 88 Russian aircraft and helicopters.

"Some enemy pilots who catapulted and survived were found by Ukrainian soldiers," the update said. "They have received medical treatment and are already testifying about the Putin regime's crimes against humanity."

Russia has responded to the “scale and strength” of Ukraine’s resistance by targeting populated areas, including Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Mariupol, the U.K. Ministry of Defence said on Sunday.

"This is likely to represent an effort to break Ukrainian morale," the ministry said. "Russia has previously used similar tactics in Chechnya in 1999 and Syria in 2016, employing both air and ground-based munitions."

The Defence Ministry said Russian fuel trucks and supply lines have been targeted, "slowing the rate of advance of their ground forces."

President Joe Biden called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Saturday evening, according to the White House, adding that they spoke for 32 minutes.

They spoke from 6:18 p.m. ET to 6:50 p.m. ET, the White House said.

The White House released a readout of Biden's call with Zelensky, saying the leaders discussed recent talks between Ukraine and Russia and Biden "reiterated his concern" about Russia's attack on a nuclear power plant. Biden also noted assistance being sent to Ukraine and said that the administration is "working closely with Congress to secure additional funding."

Biden also "welcomed the decision this evening by Visa and Mastercard to suspend service in Russia."

Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy spoke virtually to about 300 members of Congress and their staff. He pleaded passionately for more assistance from America and the West, specifically asking for war planes, according to those in the meeting. There was no mention of that in the readout from the presidents' conversation.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced Friday that it will restrict the export of U.S. luxury goods to Russia and Belarus, as well as "certain Russian and Belarusian oligarchs and malign actors located worldwide," as a result of their actions in Ukraine.

The Department of Commerce said it will impose restrictions on the export, reexport and transfer of luxury items including certain spirits, tobacco products, clothing items, jewelry, vehicles and antique goods.

"Putin’s war of choice in Ukraine continues to take a devastating toll on innocent civilians in Ukraine, fueling one of the worst humanitarian crises Europe has seen in decades," Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement.

Raimondo added, "Putin and the oligarchs who fund him have gotten rich off of Putin’s rampant corruption and the exploitation of the Russian people. We will not allow Putin and his cronies to continue living in opulence while causing tremendous suffering throughout Eastern Europe. Today’s action takes away another source of comfort and reminds them that Russia is increasingly isolated."
