Zelenskyy Rejects Putin Ceasefire as Strikes Kill 23

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Vladimir Putin's ceasefire appeal as cynical while strikes continued, with 23 people reported killed in attacks. Kyiv and Moscow declared rival ceasefires, and Zelenskyy floated an open-ended truce. Zelenskyy also said he held a meeting on diplomatic work in the Middle East and the Gulf region and on the results of Ukrainian military expert teams. He noted that reckless strikes from Iran had taken place the day before.
