"Stefanchuk, the head of Ukraine's parliament, said in a social media post Sunday:

"The air raid alarm lasted almost nine hours. This is what Putin's sincere desire for peace' looks like."

The attack destroyed residential buildings, damaged a high-rise and set garages on fire, Stefanchuk wrote, adding:

"This is terror in its purest form."

The latest assault comes after a Russian drone attack on a bus in Ukraine's northeastern region of Sumy killed at least nine people and injured seven Saturday, just hours after the two countries met for the first direct peace talks since the early weeks of Russia's 2022 invasion."
