The rapid return to the main hostilities and rapes of the truce seem to be sick for efforts to ensure long -term fire.
Russia unleashed a flood of missiles and aircraft strikes not manned in Ukraine when a high -duration Easter fire expired.
The Russian forces launched 96 drones and three missiles in the east and south of Ukraine during the night, the Ukraine Air Force reported Monday.
The rapid return to the main hostilities after a pause declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin occurs when the United States struggles to persuade Moscow to agree a long -term fire.
The night assault went to the Kharkiv, DNIPROPETROVSK and CHERKASY regions of Ukraine, wrote the Air Force in Telegram. The Air Defense Units intercepted 42 drones and redirected Antern 47.
They were not reported immediately by victims or important damage, even that the southern officials of the port city of Mykolaiv confirmed missile attacks.
Little breath for runners
Putin declared a “Easter truce” based on “humanitarian considerations” on Saturday night, which said he would last 30 hours until midnight on Sunday.
The announcement occurred one day after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Washington “would take a pass” when trying to negotiate the end of the war if the seal of an agreement would be delayed much more.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zenskyy, dismissed the statement of high fire as “another attempt to play human lives” and countered with a call for a longest fire.
“This will show the true intentions of Russia, because 30 hours are enough for the holders, but not for real measures of confidence construction. Thirty days can give peace a chance,” he said.
The United States Department of State said Sunday that I would appreciate an extension of the temporary pause.
However, at that time, Kremlin had already said that such order would not be given. The drone and missile plane followed shortly after the expiration of the truce.
The US administration will earn little breath for its commitment to negotiate a high sustainable fire of the short truce. Both Moscow and Kyiv have accused of numerous violations.
Although no air attacks were heard on Sunday, Ukraine reported almost 3000 infractions of Russia’s truce commitment, with the Pokrovsk front watching the most intense bombardment.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said the Ukrainian forces fired against Russian positions 444 times the duration of the high fire period and launched more than 900 drone attacks. Civil Casas also reported, although those statements are still not friends.
Anyway, Trump expressed optimism on Sunday that a peace agreement could before “this week.”
