Russian strikes kill 20 after Trump shortens ceasefire deadline
Russian strikes killed at least 20 people and injured 40 more overnight, Ukrainian authorities have said.
Some 16 prisoners were killed after Russia dropped 8 FAB bombs on a jail in Zaporizhzhia, while several more were killed in separate attacks on Velykomykhaylivska and Kamyanske.
The strikes came hours after Donald Trump issued a new deadline of 'about 10 or 20 days' to end the conflict or face tough sanctions.
'All I know is we'd have a good talk… and all of a sudden missiles are flying into Kyiv,' Mr Trump said at his golf course in Turnberry, Scotland. 'This has happened on too many occasions, I don't like it.'
Ukraine has been trying to resist Russia's summer offensive, which has made fresh advances into areas largely spared since the start of the offensive in 2022.
Over the weekend, the Russian army said its forces had 'liberated' the village of Maliyevka in Dnipropetrovsk, weeks after it seized the first settlement in the region.
