Rescue workers at the scene used cranes and worked under floodlights to search for survivors under the rubble after the strike on Kryvyi Rig in southern Ukraine, images released by emergency services showed.
“There must be no pause in the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life,“ the Ukrainian leader added.
The governor of the wider Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergiy Lysak, said the toll from the strike had risen to four after a 43-year-old man succumbed to his wounds in hospital.
In addition to the hotel, 14 apartment buildings, a post office, almost two dozen cars, a cultural institution, and 12 shops were damaged, authorities said.
The Ukrainian air force said Russia had attacked with two missiles and more than 100 drones including attack drones and decoys. Air defence units downed 68 of the Russian drones, they added.
“Every day Russia demonstrates that it is ready to continue the war and terrorize civilians. That is why Ukraine needs strong security guarantees to ensure a lasting and just peace,“ Prime Minister Denys Shmygal wrote on social media after the attack.
Officials also said a security guard was killed when a warehouse was struck in Sumy in the north.
