Ukraine ceasefire expires as Russia and Ukraine trade deadly strikes
The three-day truce between Russia and Ukraine has expired, with both sides resuming cross-border attacks that have resulted in casualties. A Russian raid on Kyiv killed at least two people and wounded seven others, while Ukrainian drones struck the Russian city of Saratov, damaging civilian infrastructure. Air raid alerts were active across a dozen Ukrainian regions early Tuesday morning, with strikes damaging buildings in Kyiv's Boryspil and Fastiv districts. Kyiv's mayor reported people trapped in a residential building, while Russia's regional governor confirmed civilian infrastructure damage and preliminary reports of victims in Saratov. Poland also announced air operations in response. Separately, Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned following corruption allegations linked to an illegal call center money-laundering scheme. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau claims the network received bribes to protect phone scam operations, laundering millions of dollars. Kravchenko denies the accusations but stepped down to avoid political conflict.
