Russia has completely ignored the proposal for a full and lasting ceasefire. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized that the Kremlin has once again demonstrated its unwillingness to make peace.

Ukraine says Russia has launched widespread attacks, calling Putin's declaration of a three-day truce a "farce."

After fending off attacks during a three-day weekend ceasefire declared by Russia, some Ukrainian soldiers fighting near the front line had advice for their president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy: don't talk to Moscow until Russian troops withdraw.
