April 11, 18:07: The Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the Kursk and Belgorod regions during the Easter truce.

"Today, an enemy drone attacked a gas station in the city Lgov. According to preliminary information, three people were injured, including a — one-year-old child. He has a shrapnel wound to the head. The enemy’s vile strike occurred after 16:00", Kursk Governor Alexander Khinshtein wrote in MACH.

The child's mother and a civilian were also injured and were hospitalized.

In the Belgorod region in Shebekino, a man received a barotrauma due to a UAV hitting a car. In Grayvoron, a woman was injured due to the detonation of a drone.

The Easter truce announced by President Vladimir Putin came into force today at 16:00 and will remain in effect until the end of tomorrow. Moscow proceeded from the fact that Kiev would follow suit and stop hostilities. At the same time, the troops were instructed to be ready to stop possible provocations from the enemy.

Previously Vladimir Zelensky he claimed that Ukraine would comply with the ceasefire.

Last year, Russia also announced an Easter truce, which the head of the Kiev regime allegedly accepted. Upon completion, the Ministry of Defense reported more than 4,900 violations on the Ukrainian side.

They couldn't even make it one hour into the truce before drone striking kids. This vile Nazi regime is the "Israel" of eastern Europe.

I thought exactly the same thing. Btw, apparently some of the white refugees accepted to the United States are Ukrainian (one was working where I grocery shopped recently). I wonder how closely visa applications are screened and if we're lucky enough to get non-nazis?

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe they are screened so that only nazis come over (joking ... maybe).

[–] Maeve@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Bah, that's my concern, frankly.

Sad that what I said might actually be the state of things in America.

Iran is so much better than Russia at the ceasefire game. What do you suppose Russia will do about this breach? nothing because by the time they ave complained the ceasefire will be over. Its not going change how 3rd parties see the conflict. Its not going to steel Russian resolve any further. All it does is make the Russian leadership look like fools who sacrifice people to maintain a moral superiority that nobody was questioning.

[–] TheRedWedge@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

It's not an issue of moral superiority. Russia is not doing anything about the breach because it is on track to eventually win this war by methodically grinding down Ukraine's capacity to continue fighting. They do not need to escalate in any way, just maintain the current trend until its logical conclusion. Ukraine has spent the entire war doing this sort of provocations specifically to trigger an escalatory Russian response that the euroghouls on the sidelines can use to further escalate their own involvement in the war. Every time this happens nationalistic broenkors throw a fit for a few days and demand the nuclear annihilation of Lvov then it's just business as usual with the frontline slowly creeping westwards and tha AFU bleeding out more irreplaceable casualties. It's an ugly war.

Exactly.

But why even bother with the ceasefire then? Wouldn't it be better to just keep trudging along? I'm sure the Russian MOD would get way more clout by saying "we thought about offering a Easter ceasefire but they will just break it anyway." This just makes them look like chumps.

How is Iran better at the ceasefire game? I genuinely want to know because I am not as well-versed as I would like on either country.

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Russia is using the cease fire as PR even when the PR space is saturated. Nobody is going to change their minds on the SMO because ukraine breached a ceasefire and they have no ways of punishing the breach of the ceasefire. Its a pointless exercise.

Look at how Iran is playing their ceasefire. They have the carrot and stick ready to be used. When the conditions were breached (israel kept bombing Lebanon) they took away the carrot (closed the strait). When usa sent a destroyer towards Hormuz they shook the stick and the boat turned around. They are using the ceasefire as a way reinforce the military gains they have made.

By saturated, do you mean that Western media is so set on being anti-Russia that they do not care about or notice Ukraine breaking the ceasefire? And thanks for the information on Iran.

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not just the media and not just the west. The entire information space is so saturated that nearly every individual in the whole world has an entrenched position on the war. The media plays a part but more importantly is that individuals choose media that backs up their world view. Anyone who is neutral at this point has to be militant about their neutrality because they get bombarded so much by both sides. Anyone who is anti-Russia will say this was justified or that it is fake news.

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 10 hours ago

Ah I see, so everyone ends up being entrenched in the side they stay in, so this PR thing involving Russia is useless because either they already support Russia or they do not, with the ones that do not dismissing the ceasefire violation.
