Quote: "The katsaps [Russians] have killed a Ukrainian evacuation team near Huliaipilske.
Despite the so-called 'ceasefire', the enemy continues to do what it has been doing. Today, at around 17:30 near Huliaipilske, the katsaps used FPV drones to kill a group of wounded soldiers."
Details: A video released by DeepState shows the Russian forces attacking the wounded Ukrainian defenders.
Previously: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that 469 ceasefire violations by Russian forces have been recorded since 16:00 Kyiv time, when the truce was due to take effect.
Background:
- At about 16:00 on 11 April, Kremlin-aligned Russian news agencies said the "Easter truce" declared by Russia had come into effect and would last until the end of 12 April, the day of Orthodox Easter celebrations.
- Ukraine's General Staff said the defence forces would observe a ceasefire on land, at sea and in the air during Orthodox Easter but would respond in kind to Russia's actions.
- In his evening address on 11 April, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made no mention of ceasefire violations by Russian forces. Instead, he said Ukraine had proposed to Russia that the ceasefire be extended beyond Easter.
