KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia struck civilian areas of Ukraine with drones in another deadly nighttime attack, officials said Tuesday, as Kyiv officials dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s declaration of a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire next week as an attempt “to deceive the United States.”

Russia launched drone strikes on civilian areas of Ukraine in another deadly overnight attack, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday, while Kyiv dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin's declaration of a unilateral three-day ceasefire beginning next week.
