Russian Strikes on Ukraine Kill at Least 23

Russian strikes on Ukraine have resulted in the deaths of at least 23 people, further intensifying the conflict between the two nations. The attacks targeted various locations, including Odesa, Kryvyi Rih, and Dnipro, causing significant damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties. 

Ukrainian officials have condemned the strikes as acts of aggression, highlighting the ongoing volatility of the situation. The strikes occurred shortly after Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire during negotiations with a US delegation in Saudi Arabia. Despite the ceasefire agreement, Russia launched a series of missile and drone attacks, raising doubts about its commitment to peace2. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to resolve the conflict.
