Russia recently launched a series of ballistic missile and glide bomb attacks across several cities in Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least 22 people, including inmates and a pregnant woman. These deadly strikes have persisted despite US President Donald Trump’s threats to impose sanctions on Moscow.
The attacks notably targeted volatile areas like the frontline of Zaporizhzhia, where a prison was destroyed, killing 17 inmates and injuring over 80 others. Ukrainian officials confirmed that the prison’s perimeter was intact and no inmates escaped during the attack.
In response, Ukrainian drone strikes reportedly killed at least one person in Russia’s southern Rostov region, intensifying the ongoing violence on both sides.
The Kremlin has remained silent after President Trump shortened the deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire, leading to speculation about Moscow’s next moves. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that this new deadline could be “a step towards war.” Despite this, the Kremlin asserts its commitment to peace in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Trump’s decision to reduce Putin’s deadline, expressing hope for effective outcomes.
