Russian strikes kill 22 in Ukraine before planned ceasefire

Russian drone and missile attacks hit several parts of Ukraine on Tuesday, killing at least 22 people and wounding more than 80, according to reports cited by Fox News and The Associated Press. The strikes came just hours before Kyiv had planned a ceasefire and days before a separate pause announced by Moscow. Ukrainian officials said glide bombs struck Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Chernihiv, killing civilians and damaging infrastructure. Zelenskyy condemned the attacks on social media, saying Russia could stop the war at any time and calling for real steps toward peace. Russia said it planned a unilateral ceasefire later in the week for Victory Day, but also warned it would respond if Ukraine disrupted the observance. The United Nations urged both sides to move toward a full, immediate, and lasting ceasefire.
