Russian attacks wounded at least nine people in eastern Ukraine on Sunday, the second day of what was supposed to have been a three-day truce with Russia, Ukrainian officials said.
Russia also conducted assault operations on the front line, although it did not launch any “large-scale” air raids during the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address.
“On the front line, the Russian army is not complying with the ceasefire and is not even really trying to,” he added.

US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Friday, saying the two sides had agreed to stop all “kinetic” warfare for a three-day period starting Saturday, as well as a mutual swap of 1,000 prisoners each.
Ukrainian air force data showed a decrease in long-range Russian drone strikes compared to before the truce, but officials reported casualties nonetheless.
