Zelensky says fresh Russian strikes show 'not even a token attempt to cease fire'

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of carrying out fresh attacks on Friday, an indication that Moscow made "not even a token attempt" to respect its own unilateral ceasefire.

"On the Russian side, there was not even a token attempt to cease fire on the front. As we did over the past 24 hours, Ukraine will respond in kind today as well," Zelensky wrote on X, noting that Russian forces targeted frontline positions overnight.

Separately, Ukraine's air force said it downed 56 Russian drones close to the frontline in the last hours.
