Russian attack on Ukrainian city kills 12, a day after Trump eases diesel sanctions on Moscow
Fourteen others were wounded in the attack on Zaporizhzhia, an industrial city whose outskirts lie less than 30 km from the frontline of the war.
Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities continue to claim lives as tensions between the two nations remain high. On Saturday, a Russian strike in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed twelve people, including three children, and wounded fourteen others. The attack occurred just a day after US President Donald Trump announced the lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel exports, a move that has been met with criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky accused the White House of betraying Ukraine and called for more pressure on Moscow to end the four-and-a-half-year war. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after a call with Trump that an immediate resumption of peace talks was unlikely, citing Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow.
