Russia attacks Ukraine hours after partial ceasefire agreed in Putin-Trump call

c/world · u/MicroWave@lemmy.world · 255 points

**Summary**

Hours after Trump and Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Russia launched drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, damaging homes and injuring civilians.

A hospital in Sumy was hit, forcing evacuations. Ukraine also struck a Russian oil depot. Putin rejected a full ceasefire, demanding an end to Western military aid to Ukraine.

Trump praised the call as "productive," while Zelenskyy awaited U.S. clarification before responding.

Talks on a broader ceasefire will begin Sunday in Jeddah, but skepticism remains over Russia’s commitment to peace.

technically it was also not a "violation of ceasefire" because putin said any ceasefire can only happen only after all western military aid and intelligence sharing are stopped. all, not just american. clown shit

I mean they didnt write that in the article from this post that was published 3 hours ago. I assumed it would be up to date, so thanks for the correction. I guess the guardian is just outdated or intentionally misleading then.

::: spoiler apparently wrong, see other comments

Nah it says this in the article:

>A Kremlin statement said Putin had issued an order to the Russian military to suspend strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

I know they arent trustworthy, but if Russia had violated the terms, then the headline would read

>Russia violates terms hours after partial ceasefire...

and not

>Russia attacks...

"Peace"

Skepticism rises as to whether the aggressor who could have peace by leaving the invaded country alone actually wants peace. It’s a total mystery.

but skepticism remains over Russia’s commitment to peace.

There might be some skepticism, yes…

Putin has now reached a level of Skaven where's making ceasefire deals just so he can break. There hasn't been enough betrayal for his liking yet, so he must manufacture some. Unhinged behavior.
