Hero rescuers in Ukraine managed to pull a small boy from the rubble after Putin's latest wave of missile strikes.
Heartbreaking images show the team rescuing injured 12-year-old Artem from the debris before he is put on a stretcher and carried to an ambulance.
Ukrainian emergency services said that seven people could still be trapped in the debris almost 24 hours after the blast on Wednesday night.
Footage shows the crew ushering others to safety while they worked to free little Artem who became trapped after his home was hit by a Russian missile.
Workers inflated a device to ease the pressure from some of the debris on top of the boy and propping up a collapsed part of the building with various tools before the boy was freed.
An aerial view of the building shows how the missile almost cut it in two.
The images were obtained from the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine for the Mykolaiv region on Thursday.
A spokesperson said: "Footage of the rescue of twelve-year-old Artem, who was buried under rubble as a result of an enemy rocket hitting a five-story residential building in one of the city's districts.
"The guy was under the rubble for more than 6 hours. All the time, he bravely held on, listened to all the advice of the rescuers, who tried in every way to support him, while carrying out emergency work.
"At 7.50am, units of the State Emergency Service unblocked Artem. He is currently hospitalised in a medical institution.
"Doctors are conducting examinations and providing assistance. We believe that everything will be fine with Artem."
In a separate statement, the SES of Ukraine told of enemy shelling in Mykolaiv, a city in southern Ukraine near the Black Sea.
"A five-story residential building was destroyed. Search and rescue operations are ongoing, a child was rescued," they said.
"On October 13, around 1.25am, the Russian occupiers once again launched rocket attacks on the city of Mykolaiv, previously with S300 air defence missiles.
"One of the rockets hit a five-story residential building in one of the districts of the city. As a result, the two upper floors were completely destroyed, the rest - under rubble."
The 12-year-old boy was rescued and handed over to doctors by 8am, the organisation said.
"According to preliminary information, there may be seven residents of the five-storey building under the ruins of the building, with whom there is currently no communication," they added.
"Rescuers are searching for them and analysing the destroyed structures.
"To provide assistance to the local population, volunteers of the Red Cross Society of Ukraine are working on the spot, emergency medical teams, law enforcement officers and emergency teams of the city are involved."
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation".
Today marks the 232nd day of the war.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24 and October 13, Russia had lost around 63,800 personnel, 2,511 tanks, 5,167 armoured combat vehicles and 1,556 artillery units.
Some 357 multiple launch rocket systems, 183 air defence systems, 268 warplanes, 240 helicopters, 1,182 drones, 316 cruise missiles, and 16 warships have also been reported lost.
Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
The General Assembly of the United Nations has overwhelmingly voted to condemn Russia’s annexation of parts of Ukraine, with 35 countries abstaining, including Pakistan, South Africa, India and China.
The resolution “condemns the organisation by the Russian Federation of so-called referendums within the internationally recognised borders of Ukraine” and Russian President Vladimir Putin ’s “attempted illegal annexation”, which he announced last month.
Ukrainian military has announced that it has recaptured more territory near the southern city of Kherson.
It is understood that five settlements in the Beryslav district of the north-eastern part of the Kherson region have been recaptured including Novovasylivka, Novogrygorivka, Nova Kamyanka, Tryfonivka, and Chervone.
NATO allies have delivered new air defence systems to Ukraine after Russia launched a wave of missile attacks across the country, targeting civilian areas.
Ukraine's Minister of Defence Oleksiy Reznikov said: “A new era of air defence has begun in Ukraine.
“Iris-Ts from Germany are already here. Nasams [from the US] are coming. This is only the beginning. And we need more.”
The UK has also pledged it will provide AMRAAM air defence missiles that are capable of shooting down cruise missiles.
The European Commission is set to present plans next week geared towards mitigating rising energy costs.
Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said that there are plans to set up joint gas purchases by 2023 to harness the bloc’s collective purchasing power and to “avoid member states outbidding each other on the market”, which “drives up” prices.
Putin has claimed that Russia is prepared to resume supplying gas to Europe via part of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that remains operational, saying that it was up to the European Union to decide if it wanted gas supplied by this pipeline.
