Ukrainians report: Russians are constantly injuring Putin's ceasefire

The weather on the front line was bad when the clock moved closer. Heavy clouds and rain indicated that the activities of the two warfare parties would probably remain low.

distrust of the ceasefire

When the clock reached midnight on Wednesday - the time when the Kremlin reported that his guns were silent for three days - the men in the surveillance center of the National Guard in Eastern Ukraine had no trust in President Vladimir Putin's armistice. Kir, a commander of a drone special unit, clearly expressed this: "Our answer is simple - we don't believe him." This is also the opinion of the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, who repeatedly emphasized that he is only interested in an immediate 30-day break.

continued attacks despite ceasefire

When the night broke out on Thursday, Ukrainian officials reported that attacks on the front line took place for almost the entire day, and almost a full day after Putin's start of ceasefire. Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha stated that there were more than 500 attacks on Ukrainian troop positions that day, including at least 10 attacks with directed air bombs. One of these attacks killed a 55-year-old woman and injured her son in the northern region of Sumy.

activities in the South Ukrainian region of Kherson

In the southern region of Kheron, a 35-year-old woman was killed in a drone attack, the authorities reported. Kir and his colleagues observed the Russian attacks from an inconspicuous building, the location of which we are not allowed to reveal. Monitoring cables and monitors showed over 100 live feeds of surveillance drones that covered almost the entire front line. 60 cameras in particular were aimed at the Donetsk region. "Only Mavic drones tonight," said Kir, due to the bad weather. Usually there are more transfers to see.

monitoring of the attacks

A few minutes after midnight, the men reported Russian activities: artillery fire near Pokrovsk, a gradual rocket near Toretsk and another artillery fire, this time near Slowjansk. Kir found that the attacks were indeed low, but monitoring by the Russian armed forces showed a high level of activity.

Putin's true intentions

Kir expressed itself clearly about Putin's true intentions. When the Russian President called a previous abruptly broken armistice over Easter - which the Ukraine allegedly "reflected" - Russia took the opportunity to fill up positions and move troops. "It used them," he added: "You successfully struck after Easter and we lost some positions." Kir expects further movements of the infantry during the current ceasefire.

evidence of lack of interest in peace

The national guards had further evidence that show that the Kremlin has absolutely no interest in peace. Surveillance feeds have been showing you for several weeks that Russia relocates considerable troops and equipment just a few dozen kilometers behind the front line. They played a video that was only recorded a few days ago and showed a far -reaching network of trenches, planning and vehicles that were carefully distributed along an apparently endless row of trees.

memories of the annexation of the Crimea

"Do you remember the Crimea?" Asked Kir and referred to the invasion of the Ukrainian Peninsula by Russia in 2014, which Moscow initially denied before it quickly passed to the illegal annexation of the area. "You started a lie. And you are still lying."
