According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian forces launched 67 attacks on Ukrainian positions along various segments of the front, most of them in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on Sunday that Russia had violated the 30-hour ceasefire declared the previous afternoon by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin more than 2,000 times.
“In practice, across all major areas of the front, Russia has failed to uphold its promise of a truce,” the Ukrainian president wrote, also criticizing Moscow for not responding to Kyiv’s proposal to extend the Easter ceasefire to 30 days.
Zelensky’s remarks came shortly after Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agency TASS that Moscow had no plans to extend the truce.
According to the Ukrainian president, since the ceasefire supposedly came into effect, Russian forces have carried out 67 attacks against Ukrainian positions across various segments of the front, with most of them taking place in the Pokrovsk area of the eastern Donetsk region.
In the Toretsk area, also in Donetsk, several Ukrainian soldiers were killed in a Russian ambush on Easter Sunday, Zelensky stated earlier in the day, without specifying the number of casualties.
The president also reported, citing military sources, over 1,300 instances in which Russian artillery fired on Ukrainian positions, and 673 cases in which Russian forces deployed remotely piloted drones.
