Russian strikes kill 21 in Ukraine

  • Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least 22 people across Ukraine on Tuesday, wounding more than 80 others in the deadliest attacks in weeks.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Moscow for launching these strikes while seeking a unilateral ceasefire for its May 9 Victory Day parade, rebuking the timing as "utter cynicism."
  • Striking Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Chernihiv on Tuesday afternoon, Russian glide bombs killed at least 17 civilians, as Russia fired 11 ballistic missiles and 164 drones across the country.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a bilateral drone defense partnership with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa while in Bahrain on Tuesday, highlighting parallels between Iranian attacks on Gulf states and Russia's daily aerial strikes.
  • Moscow's ceasefire proposal follows a familiar pattern of declaring short, unilateral pauses during holidays, but such suspensions of combat rarely produce tangible results amid deep mistrust between the two sides.
