Hours after agreeing to partial ceasefire with Russia, Ukraine wakes to scenes of fiery devastation

Hours after agreeing to a partial ceasefire with Russia in a phone call with President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted 10 images to his Telegram channel of fires and damage in the country’s central Kirovohrad region. 

“Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, despite its propaganda statements, do not stop,” he wrote alongside the images, some of which showed firefighters standing on ladders and cranes, hosing down flames. 

Another shows a burning vehicle surrounded by the charred remains of others.

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service also posted images of damaged buildings and rubble from the central city of Kropyvnytskyi.

One shows thick smoke rising through blown-out windows, as two firefighters attempt to tackle the blaze.

Russia launched almost 200 attack drones, including Iranian-made Shahed drones, Zelenskyy said. Among the 10 people wounded, four were children, he added.
