UKRAINE – Russian drone and missile strikes carried out overnight and later on Tuesday killed at least 22 people and wounded more than 80 others, hours before Kyiv was due to enact a ceasefire and three days before Moscow promised its own pause in hostilities.

On Tuesday afternoon, powerful Russian glide bombs smashed into multiple cities, killing at least 17 civilians and wounding 45 others.

Attacks the previous night killed five people and wounded 39.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rebuked Moscow for what he said was its “utter cynicism” in launching the attacks.
