Moscow: Russia on Saturday alleged that Ukraine committed 9,318 violations of a ceasefire Moscow had unilaterally declared on the 80th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. In a statement, the Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian troops attempted attacks using artillery, tanks, mortars, multiple rocket launchers, aerial bombs and drones.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ceasefire officially went into effect at midnight May 8 and it would remain in place until midnight May 11. The ministry stated that in response to these violations, the Russian armed forces would continue to act appropriately to the situation.

The statement further noted that over the past day, Russian air defense systems had successfully shot down a US-made JDAM guided aerial bomb, along with 86 drones launched from Ukraine to areas outside the war zone. Kyiv has yet to comment on Russia's claims and independent verification is challenging due to the ongoing conflict.
