Putin breaks ceasefire: almost 3,000 attacks on Ukraine!
In recent days, the situation on the front line in Ukraine has further deteriorated. According to a report by Small newspaper A total of 96 Russian attacks were counted, supplemented by 1,882 cases of shelling of Ukrainian positions. What is particularly worrying is the increase in over 950 drone operations, which is further destabilizing the situation. This information comes from Olexander Syrskyj, the Ukrainian commander in chief.
The Kremlin's latest offensive follows an announced but only 30-hour ceasefire announced by Vladimir Putin on Saturday. This military pause was immediately followed by tense reactions from Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Moscow for failing to meet a Ukrainian demand for a 30-day ceasefire after Easter, dashing hopes for sustained de-escalation.
Reactions to the ceasefire
Zelensky continued to express concern about the situation and made it clear that Moscow did not respond to his proposal to suspend attacks on civilian objects for at least 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had not given an order to extend the ceasefire. Zelensky announced that Ukraine's defense measures remained symmetrical. He stated: “Ceasefire will be met with ceasefire, and Russian attacks will be met with our own in defense.”
The escalation of violence and the violation of the ceasefire do not only have local effects. The war has a massive international dimension that is becoming increasingly polarizing. According to an analysis by SWP The conflict has led to the West becoming deeply involved in military, political and economic support for Ukraine. At the same time, a support group has formed around Russia, which, among other things, sources weapons from Iran and North Korea.
Global impact of war
Military cooperation between Russia and North Korea not only strengthens Kim Jong-un, but also has a negative impact on the stability of the North Korean peninsula. At the same time, international energy markets and global food security are under serious threat. The collapse of economic relations between Russia and the West has profoundly changed international trade and increased Russia's efforts to strengthen international structures in which the West is not represented. This could further weaken the UN and other international institutions that emerged after World War II.
Current developments show that the conflict in Ukraine not only has dramatic consequences for the countries affected, but that the entire international order remains at stake.
