ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (Reuters) -Russian airstrikes on a prison and hospital in southeastern Ukraine killed at least 19 people, officials said on Tuesday, while U.S. President Donald Trump said he would start imposing punitive measures on Russia within 10 days if Moscow showed no progress toward ending its war in Ukraine.
Sixteen of the people were killed when Russia bombed a prison in the frontline Zaporizhzhia region in an attack Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said was deliberate. He said 43 people were injured in the incident.
