The ceasefire, which was intended to halt hostilities from Saturday afternoon until the end of Sunday, has proven extremely fragile.

Russian border regions reported Ukrainian drone strikes, while Kyiv accused Moscow of continuing its offensive despite the public commitment to a truce.

This marks another failed attempt at a temporary cessation of hostilities in a war now entering its fifth year.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has further complicated international efforts to mediate a lasting settlement in Ukraine.
