Ukrainian officials say Russian attacks wounded several civilians on the second day of a supposed three-day ceasefire announced by the United States.
The Moscow Times reported that despite a noticeable reduction in long-range drone strikes, fighting and attacks continued across multiple Ukrainian regions.
Injuries continue
According to Ukrainian authorities, at least nine people were wounded on Sunday during Russian strikes.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said a three-year-old girl and a 23-year-old rescue worker were injured in drone attacks.
“The rescue workers were en route to the village of Myrivska to assist local residents when their fire and rescue vehicle was attacked by an enemy drone,” Hanzha said.
Southern regions hit
The Moscow Times reported that four more people were injured in attacks on the southern Kherson region.
Officials said the wounded included a 19-year-old and a 53-year-old city council employee.
Authorities in neighbouring Mykolaiv region also reported injuries after a drone struck a civilian vehicle.
Truce under pressure
A separate drone attack in Zaporizhzhia region injured another civilian, according to regional officials.
The temporary ceasefire was announced Friday by US President Donald Trump, who said both Russia and Ukraine had agreed to suspend “kinetic” warfare for three days while carrying out a major prisoner exchange.
The agreement reportedly included plans for both sides to swap 1,000 prisoners each.
Accusations exchanged
Russia’s Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of violating the ceasefire more than 16,000 times within a 24-hour period, including thousands of alleged drone attacks.
The Moscow Times noted that US-led negotiations aimed at ending the war have made little progress in recent months.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022, the conflict has become Europe’s deadliest war since World War II, causing hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties.
