A Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, killed at least 18 people, including nine children, and injured over 60, Ukrainian officials reports.
This attack occurred as US and European leaders urged Russia to agree to a ceasefire.
The strike followed a drone attack on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, which killed five civilians. Emergency crews carried black body bags from a burning apartment building, while onlookers wept and hugged.
Some of the 32 wounded, bloodied and in shock, limped out into the street or were carried on stretchers as flames shot from their homes.
