Russia and Ukraine have launched air attacks that damaged each other's infrastructure, hours after Vladimir Putin said Russia would stop targeting Ukrainian energy sites,
BBC reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's targets included hospitals. He said the Russian leader had in effect rejected a comprehensive ceasefire in his call on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump.
Putin told Trump a full ceasefire would only work if Ukraine's allies stopped giving military assistance - a condition Ukraine's European allies have previously rejected.
Officials in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar said that a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a small fire at an oil depot.
Within hours of Putin agreeing to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Zelensky said there had been "hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure", including a hospital in Sumy.
The region's government posted footage of the destruction, in which smoke can be seen rising from the caved-in hospital wing. Officials have since said that there had been no casualties.
Zelensky said that Russia launched more than 40 drones against Ukraine in the hours following the call between Trump and Putin.
"It is these types of night-time attacks by Russia that destroy our energy sector, our infrastructure, and the normal life of Ukrainians," Zelensky said.
"Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a full ceasefire."
The Ukrainian president also confirmed that a call would take place between him and Trump on Wednesday, but gave no further details.
