Ukraine Says Twenty Were Killed in Russian Strikes Ahead of Ceasefire
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in a statement on US social media platform X: “With mere hours until Ukraine’s ceasefire proposal comes into force, Russia shows no signs of preparing to end hostilities.
“Instead of clearly responding to Ukraine’s suggestion, Russia continues to kill, lie, and deny.”
In a separate statement on X, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces launched a “guided aerial bomb attack” on civilian infrastructure in a city in the Zaporizhzhia region, killing 12 people and injuring 37 others.
“The Russians show no restraint in destroying human life,” he stated, describing the strike as an “absolutely cynical terrorist strike.” He also called for sustained protection from such attacks, adding, "We need silence from such strikes and all others like them every single day, not just for a few hours somewhere for 'celebrations,'" while urging Russia to "force" an end to the war.
Separately, Dnipropetrovsk Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said that three people were killed and at least 14 others injured in a Russian strike on the city of Dnipro.
