LONDON -- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said overnight missile and drone attacks launched by Russia showed that Moscow's claimed support for a ceasefire in Ukraine is not "real."

Ukrainian authorities reported airstrikes in several regions of the country, including a drone attack on a hospital in the northeastern city of Sumy. The barrage came hours after Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed to a halt in attacks on energy infrastructure as part of the White House's peace efforts.

"Now in many regions, you can literally hear what Russia really needs," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. "About 40 Shaheds in our sky, air defense is working," the president added, referring to the Iranian-designed strike drone used by Russia.

"Unfortunately, there are hits, and precisely in civilian infrastructure," Zelenskyy continued. "It is precisely such night attacks by Russia that destroy our energy, our infrastructure, the normal life of Ukrainians. And the fact that this night was no exception shows that we must continue to put pressure on Russia for the sake of peace."

Ukraine's air force reported a total of six missiles and 145 drones fired into the country overnight. Seventy-two drones were shot down, the air force said, with another 56 lost in flight without causing damage. The Sumy, Odesa, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv and Chernihiv regions were affected by the attack, the air force wrote on Telegram.


"Today, Putin actually rejected the proposal for a complete ceasefire," Zelenskyy said. "It would be right for the world to reject any attempts by Putin to drag out the war in response."

"Sanctions against Russia. Aid to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working towards security guarantees," the president added. "And only a real cessation by Russia of attacks on civilian infrastructure as evidence of a desire to end this war can bring peace closer."

The Kremlin said Tuesday that the call between Trump and Putin was a "detailed and frank exchange of views." Putin did not agree to the full 30-day ceasefire proposed by the U.S. and Ukraine, the Kremlin statement said, with the Russian leader again framing any pause in the fighting as beneficial to Ukraine's armed forces.

The two sides did agree to a ceasefire on energy infrastructure attacks, the Kremlin said, after which Putin "immediately gave the relevant order to the Russian troops."
 
It is totally possible that the Ukrainians did it, or that the claimed hospital hit is a lie from front to back...I will reserve judgment.

Perhaps this will be on my grapevine tomorrow.
 
Putin was breaking his promised ceasefire within minutes.
The Russian tend to tell the truth and keep their word, it is the Imperial Empire which does not.....you are selling Anti-Truth again......because you are a shit quality human.
