Ukrainian authorities on Sunday reported Russian drone attacks and nearly 150 battlefield clashes in the past 24 hours, despite a US-brokered truce between Kiev and Moscow, Reuters reports.
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a three-day truce from May 9 to 11, amid stalling broader peace efforts to end more than four years of war.
One person was killed and three were wounded in Russian attacks on the Zaporozhye region in southeastern Ukraine, Governor Ivan Fedorov said Sunday morning.
In the northeastern Kharkiv region, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said eight people, including two children, were injured in drone strikes on the regional capital and nearby towns.
Seven people, including a child, were injured in the southern Kherson region following Russian drone and artillery strikes on Saturday morning, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Sunday.
A child was also injured and infrastructure damaged in Russian attacks on the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, regional chief Oleksandr Hanzha said.
Separately, Kiev's air force said Russia launched 27 long-range drones over Ukraine overnight – a lower number than usual – but that its air defenses shot them all down.
In its morning report, the General Staff of Ukraine said there were 147 clashes along the front line.
Despite these reports, Ukrainian officials have not publicly commented on any violations of the US-brokered truce, which would also include an exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war on each side.
Earlier this week, Ukraine and Russia each separately announced cease-fires – starting on Wednesday and on respectively – but quickly accused each other of violating them.
