The ceasefire imposed by Russia entered into force, but the Ukraine He accused Kremlin on Thursday (8) of attacking “hundreds of times” the lines of Ukrainian fronts and launching bombs that killed and wounded civilians in several cities.
Scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of Russia’s victory in World War II, the ceasefire was unilaterally declared unilaterally by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin last month. The forecast was to enter into force at midnight this Thursday.
A Kremlin pronouncement last month indicated Putin’s order to “all military actions” in Ukraine be suspended from midnight from May 8 to midnight on May 11 based on “humanitarian considerations”.
Russian state news agency Tass reported that the ceasefire began as planned, but the fighting seemed to have continued, according to the Ukraine Air Force.
Russia launched guided bombs on Sumy, northeast of Ukraine, and Mykolaiv, in the south of the country, according to local military personnel in a publication on Telegram.
A 55-year-old woman was killed and her son was injured in the Sumy region on the morning of Thursday, according to the Sumy prosecutor. About half an hour later, a 70 -year -old was injured when another pump fell into the Vorozhba area, the local prosecutor said.
THE CNN did not verify these allegations independently.
The Ukraine Air Force said there were no attacks of missiles or Russian drones in its airspace on Thursday morning.
“In some areas, there were no clashes in the morning, but there were active hostilities in several other (areas), so we cannot talk about a ceasefire,” said Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Ukrainian Army Operational and Strategic Grouping.
Russia also accuses Ukraine
Russia also accused Ukraine of violating the ceasefire, although Kiev rejected the short-term truce when she was first announced.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated in a statement that its troops “ceased all hostilities” and accused Ukraine of continuing attacking. The agency stated that it “mirror” the Ukrainian actions.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin’s announcement “theatrical performance” and reiterated his country’s support to a previous US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, that Russia rejected.
The three-day period chosen by Putin for the ceasefire coincides with the celebrations of Russia’s Day of the Second World War, including a traditional military parade scheduled for Friday, May 9.
Ukrainian attacks
While Russia She was preparing to celebrate the anniversary of the end of World War II, Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow for the second consecutive night on Wednesday (7).
The attacks forced the Russian authorities to temporarily stop air traffic at 13 airports on Wednesday, four in Moscow and nine elsewhere.
According to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, a Drone heading to Moscow was shot down.
The closure of the airports was potentially embarrassing to Moscow, as delegations from countries that remained friends from Russia were on displacement to participate in Friday’s parade.
