Russia has continued its offensive, killing at least 22 people in Ukraine by launching ballistic missiles and glide bombs into multiple cities despite President Trump’s threats to slap sanctions and shorten the timeline for Moscow to agree to a ceasefire. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 73 cities and villages came under Russia’s overnight attack, including a hospital in Kamyanske and a correctional facility in the Zaporizhzhia region. 

Russia’s military struck the city hospital in Kamyanske, killing three people, including a pregnant woman, according to Zelensky. 

“Late yesterday, near midnight, Russian aircraft dropped bombs on the grounds of a correctional colony in the Zaporizhzhia region,” Zelensky said in a Tuesday morning post on social media platform X.

“It was a deliberate strike, intentional, not accidental. The Russians could not have been unaware that they were targeting civilians in that facility,” he added. “Many were killed, and another 43 people were wounded, some of them with very severe injuries.” 

Trump said Monday during his trip to Scotland that he would move up the timeline to impose sanctions against Russia to “about 10 or 12 days from today,” telling reporters that, “we just don’t see any progress being made.”

“You have bodies lying all over the street. And I say that’s not the way to do it. So we’ll see what happens with that. I’m very disappointed. I’m disappointed in President Putin,” the president said, standing alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

When asked about the president’s remarks, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin has “taken note” of Trump’s statement. 

“We remain committed to a peace process to resolve the conflict around Ukraine and to ensure our interests in the course of this settlement,” Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, according to Reuters. 

Trump said in early July that he would slap “severe” tariffs on Russia if Moscow did not reach a ceasefire with Kyiv within 50 days. The president also signaled the administration would institute a 100 percent “secondary” tariff, going after countries that do business with Russia.
