Despite the '30-Day Ceasefire' Agreement, Fierce Clashes Continue Between Russia and Ukraine

Despite the agreement between high-level delegations from the United States and Ukraine to observe a 30-day ceasefire, clashes between the two sides have not subsided.

According to AFP and other sources on the 12th (local time), the Ukrainian Air Force reported that overnight, Russian forces launched three missiles and 133 attack drones toward Ukraine. Of the 133 drones, 98 were shot down.

Some missiles and drones that evaded the air defense system fell in civilian areas, causing casualties.

In the southern port city of Odesa, four people died. A cargo ship docked at the port, loading grain for export to Algeria, was attacked. As a result, four Syrians were killed and another two were injured, according to Oleksii Kuleba, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Deputy Prime Minister Kuleba criticized, “Russia attacked a port that plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security.”

In Kryvyi Rih, a city in central Dnipropetrovsk and the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, a missile strike killed a 47-year-old woman, local authorities reported.

Russia also claimed that civilian casualties in its territory continue due to 'terror attacks' by Ukrainian forces.

According to RIA Novosti, the bodies of four civilians brutally murdered were found in a church building in the village of Cherkasskoye Forekhno in Kursk, western Russia, which Ukrainian forces entered in August last year.
