A Russian drone strike in Bilopillia, Ukraine, resulted in the deaths of nine civilians, including elderly women, as they were evacuated from a frontline area. The attack occurred shortly after the first peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in years, which failed to achieve a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the drone strike as a deliberate act against civilians. Local officials declared a period of mourning in Bilopillia, highlighting the ongoing violence despite peace negotiations and Ukraine's calls for a ceasefire to save lives.
"Ukraine has long proposed this a full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives. Russia only retains the ability to continue killing," said Zelenskyy.
Local community chief Yurii Zarko called the day of the drone strike in Bilopillia "Black Saturday," as the town mourned the loss of its civilians.
