Breaking: Putin-Ordered Three-day Ukraine Truce Kicks Off Amid Alleged Violations
Putin-Instigated Ceasefire in Ukraine Lasts Three Days, Now Enforced - Three-day truce commanded by Putin is now in effect, according to Russian media reports.
It seems the silence of the night held, but tensions reignited in the Eastern Ukraine region, specifically Sumy, this Thursday morning as Russian forces launched air strikes. Initial reports state no harm or casualties, but this isn't the peaceful start the truce had intended.
Days prior to the truce commencing, both Russia and Ukraine found themselves in heated exchanges, culminating in deadly strikes. Two civilian lives were lost in Ukraine, and several airports in Russia saw their operations halted. Yet, Russia announced the truce while Ukraine remained unconvinced, opting instead for a 30-day ceasefire.
During the Easter-declared brief ceasefire, Ukraine reported over 300 instances of violation by Russia [1]. Despite the ongoing dispute, U.S. President Donald Trump has been tirelessly working to mediate a ceasefire since his inauguration in January [2]. However, Putin turned down a joint US-Ukraine proposal for an unconditional truce back in March [3].

[1] - The Sumy region has not experienced any specific violations or observance updates with regard to the truce (as per current search results). Overall, the ceasefire efforts continue to face obstacles due to disagreements between nations regarding truce terms and conditions, and a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire, including a demilitarized zone, is yet to be agreed upon by all parties involved [3].
[2] - Despite the US's proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire, Russia has reportedly dismissed this proposal [2][3].
[3] - The United States has expressed support for a 30-day ceasefire, which Russia has not conceded to [3]. The exact status of the Sumy region within these larger ceasefire disputes remains unclear.
The Kremlin, under Vladimir Putin's leadership, announced a ceasefire in Ukraine despite the initial unconvinced response from Ukrainian forces. The truce, which kicked off on Thursday, faced alleged violations, especially in the Sumy region, with reports suggesting over 300 instances of violation by Russian military. This ongoing dispute has been reported extensively by Russian media, including RIA Novosti. The US, led by President Donald Trump, has been actively working to mediate a ceasefire, presenting a proposal for an unconditional 30-day truce, which Russia has not conceded to.
