The Ukrainian army said on social media on Tuesday that at least three servicemen were killed in a Russian attack on a military training camp.
During the previous night, more than 70 people were injured and at least 25 civilians, including a 23-year-old pregnant woman, were killed in a wave of Russian strikes, according to Ukrainian authorities. Among the dead were about 15 inmates of a penal colony in the southern Zaporizhzhia region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of willfully targeting the prison.
Moscow denied the claim, with Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisting “the Russian army does not strike civilian targets.”
The attacks came hours after Trump said he was shortening the deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the war from 50 days to 10-12 days. Hours later, Trump solidified the 10-day timeline, threatening “tariffs and stuff,” while also conceding that he did not know if the measures would work.
Peskov said Moscow had “taken note,” and that it remained “committed to the peace process to resolve the conflict around Ukraine and secure our interests.”
