Zhytomyr is located 140 kilometers west of Kyiv.

Russia launched its 14th aerial attack across Ukraine since the beginning of the month, launching at least 54 Iranian-made kamikaze drones overnight on May 28.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means.
