Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia sent the world a "clear signal" about its intentions on peace after another night of "large-scale attacks" on his country.
Zelensky accused Russia of sending 117 drones overnight, mostly Iranian-made Shaheds and targeting civilian infrastructure, including homes, though he said a "significant number" were shot down.
"Launching such large-scale attacks after ceasefire negotiations is a clear signal to the whole world that Moscow is not going to pursue real peace," Zelensky said Wednesday morning in a post on X.
On Tuesday, the White House unveiled an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to "eliminate the use of force" in the Black Sea and work on a ceasefire against each other's energy infrastructure.
"Since March 11, there has been a U.S. proposal for a total ceasefire, a complete halt to strikes," Zelensky wrote. "And literally every night, through its attacks, Russia keeps saying 'no' to our partners' peace proposal."
In recent days, Russia has also accused Ukraine of conducting strikes on its territory that violate the spirit of agreements brokered by the Trump Administration, such as an explosion at a gas pipeline station in Sudzha. Kyiv denied responsibility.
