Death toll rises in Ukraine after Russia attacks aid centre, hospice and hospital

Recent Russian attacks in Ukraine have resulted in at least 38 civilian deaths, including a significant strike on an aid center in Komyshuvakha. President Zelensky reported that many victims may still be trapped under rubble, calling it one of the largest mass killings by Russia in the conflict. Additional strikes targeted a hospice in Dnipro and a hospital in Kharkiv, injuring numerous elderly patients. The UN condemned the attacks as violations of humanitarian law. Amidst the violence, Russia announced participation in peace talks with Ukraine, although Zelensky expressed skepticism about Russia's commitment to negotiations. The situation remains dire, with ongoing strikes affecting energy infrastructure and civilian safety.
