Russian attacks killed 22 people in cities across Ukraine on Tuesday, as President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Moscow’s “utter cynicism” for launching deadly strikes while seeking a truce to stage its May 9 patriotic parade.
In Zaporizhzhia, a southern city close to the front line, 12 people were killed in what Zelensky described in the post as a guided aerial bomb attack with “absolutely no military justification.” Seven people remained hospitalized, while 37 people were affected overall.
“It was a guided aerial bomb attack that directly targeted the city’s civilian infrastructure. The Russians show no restraint in destroying human life,” he said.
Russian forces also struck Dnipro in the evening, killing four people, Zelensky confirmed.
