Russia ignores Ukraine's unilateral ceasefire and attacks kindergarten

Ukraine's president says Russia has "spurned the ceasefire" and Kyiv is deciding on further action to take.

Despite Ukraine's announcement of a unilateral ceasefire, Russia launched extensive drone attacks on Ukrainian territory, including a strike on a kindergarten in Sumy that resulted in one death and two injuries.

Ukraine criticized Russia for attacking several Ukrainian cities overnight with more than 100 combat drones and three missiles, in spite of a unilateral 24-hour ceasefire called by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

At least 26 people were killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Moscow's 'utter cynicism' for launching deadly attacks while also seeking a truce to stage its 9 May patriotic parade.

Russian forces struck a kindergarten in the center of Sumy with two drones, injuring at least two people. Emergency services are working at the scene, and the extent of the damage is still being assessed.
