Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy accuses Russia of breaching its truce by striking Bakhmut and other areas in eastern regions as fighting enters its 318th day Follow our live coverage👇
Russia, Ukraine trade ceasefire violation accusations
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the Russian military was continuing to strike Ukrainian positions despite their declared ceasefire. "The reality is Russian shells again hit Bakhmut and other Ukrainian positions," said Zelenskyy in his video address. Ukrainian officials denounced the unilateral 36-hour pause as a ploy and said it appeared to have been ignored by some of Moscow's forces pressing ahead with the nearly 11-month offensive.
Russia insisted that its forces along the 1,100-km front line were observing the Kremlin-ordered truce, but returned fire when attacked.
