There are reports bombing has resumed in the port city of Mariupol, where a maternity hospital was attacked yesterday.
There's been international condemnation of the air strike, in which three people - including a child - were killed.
US Vice-President Kamala Harris says it's just the latest atrocity committed by Russian forces.
While Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov insists the facility wasn't hit deliberately - claiming it had been taken over by radicals.
It's reported bombing has started again in Mariupol - just as Russia and Ukraine's foreign ministers ended peace talks.
There's been no progress on a ceasefire.
But Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, says his country won't be giving in.
German chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron had a call with Vladimir Putin today - and demanded an immediate ceasefire.
The chances of that happening any time soon remain slim.
