Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Tuesday that Russia unilaterally decided to end the partial truce that was in effect until Monday with a nighttime attack involving over 200 drones against various regions and airstrikes on the front lines, and that Kyiv will respond "in the same way." "Russia itself decided to end the partial silence that had lasted for several days," he said in a message on his social media, reporting on the 216 drones of various types that Russia had launched against Ukraine in the past few hours. According to the Air Force, Ukrainian air defenses managed to shoot down 192 drones, while another twenty-five impacted in ten locations in the country last night. According to Zelenskyy, suicide drones were shot down in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Kyiv and its province.

In turn, the head of the Military Administration of the Kyiv Region, Mykola Kalashnik, said that during the night, Russian attacks damaged a kindergarten, where a fire broke out on the roof, a nearby four-story residential building, and two houses. In the Kharkiv region, Russia attacked a company in the Kupiansk district with a suicide drone and another private residence in the regional capital. In the Chernihiv province, a house caught fire as a result of an impact. Another impact from a suicide drone occurred on private property, according to the State Emergency Service (DSNS).

"We have said that we will respond in the same way to all Russian actions. Russia must end this war, and it is Russia that must take the step towards a real and lasting ceasefire," Zelenskyy emphasized. "Until that happens, sanctions against Moscow are necessary and must be maintained and strengthened," he insisted. For the leader, it is important that there is no weakening of pressure and that Ukraine's partners "do not back down," but rather "continue working together for security, justice, and reliable peace."

The truce, which was in effect from Saturday until Monday, was barely respected, and both sides accused each other of attacks on their positions in various sectors of the front, in addition to the launch of thousands of drones, whose targets included both Ukrainian territory and Russian rear areas.
