Ukraine and Russia on Sunday accused each other of thousands of violations of a ceasefire declared for the Orthodox Easter weekend.
The Ukrainian General Staff recorded 2,299 violations by Russian forces, including 479 instances of shelling and around 1,800 attacks with small drones. But it added that there had been no strikes using missiles, glide bombs or Shahed drones.
The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed there had been a break in the fighting for 18 hours, but also said that a Russian drone attack requiring an air force response had been recorded in the Sumy region along the Russian border in the north-east of the country on Sunday morning.
In Moscow, the Russian Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of mounting targeted attacks. A total of 1,971 violations of the ceasefire by units of the Ukrainian armed forces had been recorded over a 16-hour period from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning, it said.
It accused Ukrainian forces of attacking Russian positions around Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region but said that all the attacks had been warded off.
Attempts by Ukrainian forces to advance in the Sumy region had also been repulsed, the ministry said.
The ministry insisted that all Russian units had adhered to the ceasefire ordered by President Vladimir Putin. Putin instructed that the ceasefire should last until midnight (2100 GMT on Sunday).
The two sides have accused each other of violations during previous ceasefires. This year, Orthodox Easter falls a week after Catholics and Protestants celebrate Easter.
