Ukraine and Russia Dispute Ceasefire Violations
Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire for Orthodox Easter. It ran from Saturday at 4pm to Sunday at midnight.
Both sides accused each other of breaking it. Ukraine's military recorded 2,299 Russian violations.
These included shellings, drone strikes, and assaults. President Zelensky said his forces would respond to attacks.
Russian leaders said Ukrainian drones hit targets in the Kursk and Belgorod regions. Two adults and a child were injured in the Kursk region.
