Attacks on Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk
In addition to Kiev, Russia also attacked in the Dnepropetrovsk region, where, according to local officials, one person was killed and at least four others were injured.
Zelenskyy said on the X Network that Russia launched more than 200 drones into Ukraine on Tuesday night. “Air bombs were again used on the front – more than 80 pieces and more than 30 air attacks were recorded,” he wrote.
Civilian targets at risk
According to the president, energy equipment, residential buildings and a kindergarten were damaged. There was also an attack on a civilian locomotive on the railway.
“We said that we will respond to all of Russia’s actions in the same way. Russia must end this war, and it is Russia that must take a step toward a real, permanent ceasefire,” Zelenskyy said.
Russian side about downed drones
The Russian military says it shot down 27 Ukrainian drones over the Belgorod, Voronezh and Rostov regions after the ceasefire ended.
The three-day ceasefire, in effect since May 9, ended on Monday before midnight local time. A temporary ceasefire was brokered last week by US President Donald Trump on the occasion of Victory Day celebrations in Moscow. Although Russia refrained from massive drone and missile attacks during it, both sides reported numerous instances of ceasefire violations.
