Ukraine accuses Russia of ignoring ceasefire proposal
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia continues its military operations despite Ukraine’s proposal for a ceasefire and warned that Kyiv will respond in kind.
“Russia has not stopped any of its military activity. Unfortunately, it has not ceased. Ukraine will respond in a reciprocal manner,” Mr Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
He noted that Russia attacked seven Ukrainian regions on Wednesday in spite of a Kyiv-proposed ceasefire that took effect at midnight.
He emphasised that Ukraine remains committed to working for peace and seeks to end the conflict with dignity.
On Monday, the Russian Defence Ministry announced a ceasefire with Ukraine on May 8-9.
Mr Zelensky also said Ukraine would implement a ceasefire with Russia starting Wednesday.
