VLADIMIR Putin has unleashed another night of deadly strikes on Ukraine leaving at least two dead and dozens wounded.

Both deaths came in Ukraine‘s second largest city, near to the town of Kupiansk, an area which has been under constant Russian attack for months.

The victims were reportedly 67 and 69 years old. 

Kharkiv regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said at least 17 explosions were recorded in just 20 minutes.

Chilling images show the night sky lit up after several buildings were directly impacted amd left up in flames.

Putin’s evil forces are said to have knocked out power and water supplies across the country.

The southeastern town of Kryvyi Rih and the capital Kyiv were also impacted.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defence units had gone into action but there were no reports of casualties.

The latest attacks are set to anger Donald Trump even more after he imposed a strict peace ultimatum on Putin on Monday.

He issued a blistering crackdown on Moscow as he pledged to hit Russia with 100 percent tariffs if they don’t agree to a peace deal within 50 days.

Trump also said he is “very unhappy” with the despot over his incessant bombing of Ukrainian civilians.

The US President also agreed to supply weapons to help Kyiv in the war in the hopes of driving Putin to the negotiating table.

He vowed to send weapons compromising of “everything” in his arsenal in order to get Putin back into line after weeks of the tyrant incessantly bombing Ukraine.

One of the proposed weapons which could be included in the package deal is America’s joint air-to-surface standoff cruise missiles (JASSM).

A snarling Putin is yet to directly respond but the Kremlin’s reaction to Trump’s latest posture was icy.

They mocked the deadline with sources saying they may now demand even more Ukrainian territory instead of laying down arms.

Russia will instead keep terrorising Ukrainian civilians during the seven-week period instead of surrendering in any form, they added.

And within hours of Trump’s tariff threat, they made good on that promise.

Russia launched a fresh blitz across Ukraine Monday night, striking sites in Kharkiv, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia.

Drones targeted a university in Sumy, wounding a 14-year-old girl and a 19-year-old student, while a missile hit a medical facility in Shostka.

In response, Ukraine launched its own drone blitz across southwest Russia, injuring civilians and damaging homes and industrial sites in Voronezh and Lipetsk.
