Russian bombardments kill nine in Ukraine; Zelensky skips Poland conference

At least nine civilians died and over thirty were injured in Russian bombardments across southern and central Ukraine on Tuesday, local authorities reported. The attacks struck Kryviï Rig in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where a missile strike killed two men and one woman and injured 26 others. Russian attacks also caused three civilian deaths and six injuries in the Nikopol district.

In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, three Russian aerial bombs hit Marïvka, killing one woman and injuring two. In Kherson, a Russian attack claimed the life of another woman. Odessa reported the death of a 26-year-old woman on a beach during daytime Russian drone attacks targeting coastal areas.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend the upcoming Ukraine reconstruction conference in Poland. Ukrainian authorities announced Tuesday that the decision stems from ongoing tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw concerning the memory of World War II. The European Union has cautioned against the potential advantage Russia could gain from such a dispute.

Adding to the diplomatic efforts, leaders from major European military powers are scheduled to meet in Berlin on Wednesday. This meeting, announced by Italy and Germany, aims to bolster Europe's role in seeking an end to the war in Ukraine.
