Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia continues its military operations inspite Ukraine’s proposal for a ceasefire and warned that Kiev will respond in kind.
“Russia has not stopped any of its military activity. Unfortunately, it has not ceased. Ukraine will respond in a reciprocal manner,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram.
He noted that Russia attacked seven Ukrainian regions on Wednesday inspite a Kiev-proposed ceasefire that took effect at midnight.
He emphasised that Ukraine remains committed to working for peace and seeks to end the conflict with dignity.
