MAD Vladimir Putin’s forces have killed more civilians including two children in a new barbaric strike on a city centre.
The savage Shaded drone terror attack on Dnipro was in defiance of Trump administration’s calls to halt the bloodshed and seek a ceasefire.
The death toll was put at three, including a child, a girl, 16, and an “elderly woman”;, as ten huge explosions rocked the city in 20 minutes.
Some 30 were wounded including five children, one aged just nine months.
The onslaught came as Ukraine also staged a massive attack on Russia – but in this case hitting for the second time in a day the Iskander-M missile base at Shuya in Ivanova region that struck Sumy in a Palm Sunday massacre killing 35 and wounding 119 – mostly civilians – at the weekend.
The Putin strike on Dnipro was described as “real hell”;, with strikes close to the city hall.
It comes as the top Ukrainian officials are to meet in Paris today to meet EU and US delegations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in the French capital as President Donald Trump's push for a ceasefire has yet to bear fruit despite his pledges to quickly end the war.
Russia's strikes that have recently killed dozens of people including many children in Ukraine's cities of Sumy and Kryvyi Rig show how the war is taking a hefty toll despite a series of diplomatic efforts.
Macron has taken the lead in seeking to forge a coordinated European response to defending Ukraine, both during the current conflict and in its eventual aftermath after Trump shocked the world by opening direct negotiations with Russia.
Zelensky's chief of staff Andriy Yermak said he and Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga as well as Defence Minister Rustem Umerov were in Paris to meet France, Germany, Britain and the United States — but did not say exactly who they would meet.
A French diplomatic source had said earlier Rubio and France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot would discuss “the war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear file”.
This will be Rubio's third trip to Europe since taking office.
Witkoff said on Monday, just days after his third meeting with Putin, that he himself sees a peace deal “emerging”.
