FURIOUS Vladimir Putin violated the naval ceasefire with a barrage of missiles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has alleged, marking the latest disregard for US President Trump’s peace initiative.

In a video message, Zelensky reported that the missiles were launched from Russian vessels positioned in the Black Sea on Sunday, following warnings that Moscow was intensifying its aerial offensives.

He added that Russia is refusing to accept an unconditional ceasefire so Putin can continue launching missile strikes from the Black Sea.

During his evening speech, Zelensky stated: “This exemplifies why Russia is manipulating diplomacy and refusing to accept an unconditional ceasefire—they wish to maintain their capability to attack our cities and ports from the sea.”

It comes after heinous attacks over the weekend, with one Russian missile strike killing at least 19 people, including at least nine children.

It remains unclear if Zelensky was referring to this attack when claiming Russia had fired from the Black Sea.

Zelensky slammed the lack of a US response to Russia’s refusal to agree “a full, unconditional ceasefire” following the weekend’s heinous attacks.

Ukraine has agreed to an unconditional truce in the more than three-year-long war proposed by the US but mad Vlad has continuously refused to do so.

Zelensky said: “We are waiting for the United States to respond — so far there has been no response.”

Russia attempted to gloat the capture of a village in Ukraine’s Sumy region in a rare cross-border advance, but Ukraine has branded the boast as “disinformation”.

And earlier, Putin “launched a massive nationwide attack on Ukraine using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones”, Ukraine’s first deputy prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko revealed.

Zelensky warned that “the number of Russian air attacks is increasing”, therefore proving that “the pressure on Russia is still insufficient”.
