Ukraine Says Russia Turned Ceasefire Into Theater as Nearly 30 Assaults and More Than 70 Aerial Bombs Hit the Front in One Morning

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia has disrupted the ceasefire regime after another day of assaults, drone attacks, air strikes, missile fire, and shelling across Ukraine.

His statement followed what he described as savage attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities, including Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk, and other areas.

Zelenskyy said Russia’s continued attacks show that Moscow has chosen to reject a ceasefire and the chance to save lives.

Assaults Continue Along Key Frontline Areas

According to Zelenskyy, Russian forces continued active operations across all major parts of the front.

He said that since the start of the day alone, the Russian army had already carried out nearly 30 assaults. That figure suggests the fighting remained intense despite public ceasefire messaging coming from Moscow.

More Than 70 Aerial Bombs Used Overnight and Morning

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces recorded more than 20 Russian air strikes overnight and into the morning, involving more than 70 aerial bombs.

The use of guided and unguided aerial bombs has become one of the major threats facing Ukrainian frontline communities and military positions.

These attacks can cause widespread damage, especially when aimed near populated areas or defensive positions.

Ukraine Says Nearly 90 Attack Drones Were Neutralized

The Russian army also launched strikes using different types of drones throughout the night, Zelenskyy said.

Ukraine’s Defense Forces reportedly neutralized nearly 90 attack drones. The president also said missile strikes were recorded, adding to the mix of weapons used during the latest round of attacks.

Kyiv Counts 1,820 Ceasefire Violations by 10 a.m.

Zelenskyy said that by 10 a.m., the Russian army had committed 1,820 violations of the ceasefire regime.

He listed those violations as including shelling, attempted assaults, air strikes, and drone use. For Ukraine, that number is being used as evidence that the ceasefire was not respected in practice.

Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Will Respond in Kind

The Ukrainian president thanked Ukrainian soldiers for defending national positions and said Ukraine had already made clear it would respond in kind.

He linked the issue to Russia’s public calls for a ceasefire around the Moscow parade, arguing that any reasonable person could see that a full-scale war and daily killings are not compatible with public celebrations.

Kyiv Says Russia Still Has a Path to Peace

Zelenskyy said Russia must end the war it is currently waging. He argued that even with internet restrictions and blocked communications, many Russians understand that their leadership could choose peace.

He added that Moscow already has Ukraine’s diplomatic proposals and that the only thing missing is Russia’s willingness to move toward what he called real peace.

Impact and Consequences

The immediate consequence is that hopes for even a temporary reduction in fighting appear badly damaged. If Ukraine’s count of 1,820 violations is accepted, the ceasefire regime was effectively broken almost immediately through shelling, assaults, drones, missiles, and air strikes.

For civilians, the consequences remain severe. Cities such as Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kramatorsk remain exposed to continued attacks, while frontline communities face daily pressure from air bombs and assaults.

Militarily, the situation means Ukraine is likely to continue active defensive and retaliatory operations.

Diplomatically, Zelenskyy’s statement puts pressure on Russia by arguing that Moscow’s ceasefire messaging was only political theater unless matched by actual restraint on the battlefield.

What’s next?

Zelenskyy said Ukraine will decide its next actions after reviewing evening reports from the military and intelligence services.

That means Kyiv’s response may depend on updated battlefield data, the scale of continued Russian attacks, and whether Moscow makes any real move toward de-escalation. Ukraine is likely to keep pressing partners to view Russian ceasefire claims with skepticism unless attacks stop in practice.

Zelenskyy says Russia has disrupted the ceasefire regime after carrying out continued assaults, shelling, drone attacks, missile strikes, and air strikes across Ukraine.
