Russia strikes prison in Ukraine, killing 17 and wounding dozens

Russia has launched a missile strike on a prison in Ukraine, killing 17 inmates and wounding dozens more. The attack took place in the frontline region of Zaporizhzhia, which has been the site of numerous military operations in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The strike comes as former U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed calls for a ceasefire, arguing that the war has gone on for too long and that a negotiated settlement is necessary to end the bloodshed. However, the Ukrainian government has remained steadfast in its resistance, vowing to continue fighting until Russia withdraws its forces from the country. The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from the international community, with many denouncing the attack as a violation of international law and a blatant disregard for human life. The situation in the region remains tense, and it remains to be seen whether the call for a ceasefire will gain any traction in the coming days.
