Three-day ceasefire in Ukraine comes into effect

A three-day ceasefire declared by Russia came into effect on Thursday morning and found Ukraine's main cities quiet, in a change from consecutive nights of heavy attacks by Russian drones and ballistic missiles.

However, a Ukrainian military spokesman told Reuters that Russian troops had continued to carry out attacks in several areas on the eastern front. The air force said Russian planes had dropped guided bombs on the Sumy region of northern Ukraine three times.

But the air force also said there had been no Russian missiles or drones in Ukrainian airspace since the ceasefire came into effect.

The Russian ceasefire, which coincides with the 80th anniversary of Russia's victory in World War II, came into effect at midnight Moscow time.

As part of the anniversary events, Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders in Moscow and will launch a military parade in Moscow's Red Square on May 9.

Ukraine has not pledged to respect the Kremlin's ceasefire, calling it a ploy by Putin to create the impression that he wants to end the war, which began when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022./ CNA
