This was stated by Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha on social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.
“I just spoke with Ukraine's military command, who provided information about the frontline situation. Predictably, Putin's "Parade ceasefire" proves to be a farce,” said Sybiha.
Ukraine is responding appropriately to all attacks, Sybiha stressed. He added that Kyiv is sharing full details of these ceasefire violations with the United States, the EU, European partners, other states, and international organizations.
“We will not let Putin fool anyone when he does not even keep his own word,” Ukraine’s top diplomat emphasized.
Sybiha reiterated Ukraine’s readiness for at least a 30-day complete ceasefire and confidence-building measures, which will enable peace talks and lead to a just and lasting peace.
