The three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine from May 9 to 11 to mark Victory Day officially ended at midnight.
The agreement was accompanied by constant violations and active hostilities. The pause was agreed upon at the initiative of US President Donald Trump. Both sides accused each other of violations.
Offensive operations on the front did not completely stop until a shortened military parade was held in Moscow on May 9.
Moscow warned that it would strike the center of the Ukrainian capital if Ukrainian attacks reached Moscow during the May 9 celebrations, and urged foreign diplomats to evacuate Kiev.
A report by the Russian Defense Ministry, published at noon on May 11, indicated that Ukrainian forces had violated the ceasefire 23,802 times.
They had attempted 32 attacks on Russian positions during that period and shelled them with artillery more than 2,500 times. In addition, Ukrainian forces had shelled the border areas of Belgorod and Kursk regions and launched drone attacks on them and other regions – Crimea, Adygea and Chechnya; Tula, Smolensk, Oryol, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Ryazan, Bryansk, Rostov and Kaluga regions; and Perm, Stavropol and Krasnodar regions.
Russian armed forces returned fire on multiple rocket launchers, artillery and mortar positions, hitting command posts and drone launch sites, the Ministry of Defense noted.
Ukraine's accusations of Russia violating the agreed three-day ceasefire focus on ongoing Russian ground advances along the front line, massive drone attacks and artillery shelling of residential areas.
According to official statements from Kiev and reports from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Russian army has not ceased its combat operations at all.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that while Russia has refrained from massive missile strikes on major cities, its forces have continued active assaults in areas where they are advancing, and “didn't even try“ to observe the ceasefire.
Ukrainian authorities reported the killing of civilians and dozens of injuries in Russian drone and artillery attacks in the Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a Russian drone attacked a vehicle of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, injuring a young rescue driver.
Ukraine's General Staff recorded hundreds of attacks and over 200 combat clashes along the line of contact immediately after the agreed pause came into effect.
Ukraine rejected Moscow's claims that Kiev sabotaged a planned large-scale exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war, accusing Russia of using disinformation to undermine diplomatic efforts led under the auspices of the United States.
