MOSCOW, May 10 — Moscow’s Defense Ministry accused Ukrainian forces on Sunday of breaking ceasefire agreements through drone operations and artillery bombardments targeting Russian military positions, according to reports from the Interfax news agency.
The ministry stated that Russian forces intercepted and destroyed 57 Ukrainian unmanned aircraft during the previous 24-hour period, while asserting that Moscow has been adhering to ceasefire conditions.
According to the ministry, Russian forces had “responded in kind” to Ukraine’s military actions, conducting counterattacks using multiple launch rocket systems and mortar fire.
Previously, Ukrainian officials had blamed Russia for carrying out drone operations and approximately 150 combat encounters during the same timeframe, despite an existing U.S.-mediated ceasefire agreement.
Independent verification of these military claims from the battlefield was not immediately available through Reuters.
