Vladimir Putin has left Odesa "in flames" after launching a devastating post-ceasefire kamikaze drone attack that injured three people, including a young girl.

Dramatic footage taken by residents living in the southern Ukrainian city shows the orange glow of a massive explosion and shockwaves rocking local infrastructure following the worst done attack of the war so far, with more than a dozen civilian targets believed to have been hit this evening alone. The smouldering remains of several buildings can be seen as smoke rises high into the air and pressure can be heard batting at buildings in videos posted on Telegram as the attack hit the southern portion of the city. Photos posted online by locals show fires in what appear to be multiple separate locations lighting up massive columns of smoke, which could be seen from miles around.

Am I mistaken or was there never an agreed ceasefire?

Before the war, there used to be a live webcam in Odessa. It was one of my favorites.

Ukraine just retaliated for tonight’s Odesa attack by destroying the Sudzha Gas Metering Station in Kursk.

PDJT needs to pull the US out of Europe completely. These clowns know nothing but war and militarism.

Zelinsk did before he didn’t before he did before he didn’t.

It’s hard to keep up with him.

I didn’t expect there would be a year 4, or 3 or 2, and sure didn’t think that Odesa would still be part of a country called Ukraine.

a devastating post-ceasefire

So when was this Cease Fire signed? When did it go into effect. Or is the press lying?
