Russia and Ukraine Accuse Each Other of Violating U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Conflict
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged accusations of violating a U.S.-brokered ceasefire intended to last from Saturday through Monday, coinciding with Russia's Victory Day celebrations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Russia was not adhering to the truce, citing continued drone and artillery strikes. In response, Ukraine refrained from long-range retaliatory actions but warned of significant responses if Russia resumed full-scale warfare. Russia's Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of over 1,000 ceasefire violations, including attacks on civilian targets and military positions. The ceasefire, requested by President Trump, also included a proposed exchange of prisoners, which he suggested could mark the beginning of the end of the war. Despite the ceasefire, tensions remain high, with both sides reporting casualties and injuries.
