Russia and Ukraine accused each other on Sunday, the 12th, of violating the Easter ceasefire announced by the Kremlin, amid the celebration of Orthodox Easter despite the war, which has lasted four years.
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, declared on Thursday a 32-hour truce during the period of celebrations, ordering the suspension of hostilities from 16:00 on Saturday until the end of Sunday, local time.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said he would respect the measure, but warned that he would respond quickly to any violation.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, however, reported having recorded 2,299 violations by Sunday morning, including attacks, bombardments and short-range drone launches. According to the statement, there was no use of long-range drones, missiles or guided bombs.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had counted 1,971 violations by Ukraine, including drone attacks.
The governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said in a statement that two civilians were killed in a Ukrainian attack on Saturday.
