The “Easter truce” announced by Putin seems to have not served much. In the figures published by the Navy of Ukraine, only this Sunday The Russians carried out 1882 attacks against the positions of Ukrainian units and settlements.
In a statement collected by the medium“In particular, 33 of the attacks were of multiple launch rocket systems, and involved 957 kamikazes drones to destroy.” The president of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenskihe has criticized the violations committed by the Russian army.
“In Kursk’s front, the Russian promise of total silence was not extended”he said Monday. “In total, 96 Russian assault operations were carried out, 1882 bombings of our positions, and in particular 812 with heavy weapons, Russian FPV drones were used more than 950 times.”
These facts break with the last positioning of the Kremlin, which ordered the cessation of all hostilities from 18.00 of April 19 to 00.00 of April 21. A position that Zelenski supported at first, “If silence really reigns”. In fact, the latter proposed to extend the high fire after the end of Easter Day.
As the Ukrainian analyst suggests Oleksandr Kovalenkoin conversation with the newspaper Putin’s “Easter truce” “It aims to maintain Washington’s favorable position while preparing for new offensives”. “While the general intensity of the fighting has decreased to a quarter these days, it does not represent a true cessation of fire.”
In this sense, “Russian forces are freely mobilizing resources, accumulating reservations for significant offensive.” The Kremlin “prepares without obstacles to an escalation of hostilitieswhich aims to justify accusing Ukraine of violating the truce, “concludes the publication.
