Ukraine has accused Russia of breaking its own ceasefire and of a 'primitive and cynical deception' after Vladimir Putin called for a '36-hour truce' from today.
The ceasefire - proposed by the Russian despot on Thursday to run from from 12pm, January 6 to midnight on January 8 - was rejected by Ukraine as a Moscow sham, with analysts suggesting it was an attempt to allow Russian forces to regroup.
Just hours after the 36-hour truce was supposed to begin, rockets slammed into a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk close to Bakhmut and on the eastern frontline, damaging 14 homes but with no casualties, the mayor said.
