⚡️ In accordance with the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, due to humanitarian reasons, during the holidays on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, all the Groups of Forces deployed in the special military operation zone have disengaged from all combat operations since 00:00 of 8 May remaining in previously taken positions.

🔹 The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation strictly observe the ceasefire regime. Aviation, Missile Troops, Artillery, and unmanned aerial vehicles ceased all attacks.

❗️ Despite the announcement of the ceasefire, the AFU formations continued to engage in combat actions against Russian troops. The AFU made two attempts to penetrate the State Border of the Russian Federation in Kursk region and attacked Dzerzhinsk (Donetsk People's Republic).

▪️ Along the line of contact, Ukrainian units attacked positions of Russian troops 173 times by tube artillery, tanks, and mortars as well as delivered 4 strikes by MLRS projectiles. In addition, 300 UAV strikes and munition drops from drones were attempted by the AFU.

▪️ In total, 488 violations of the ceasefire have been recorded.

🔹 Deliberate destructive actions of the Ukrainian side towards Russia confirm the commitment of the Kiev regime to undermine the efforts to peacefully settle the conflict in Ukraine.

❗️ In these circumstances, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation respond to the violations of the ceasefire by the AFU in an equal manner and will continue to act according to the situation by addressing all criminal assaults of the Kiev regime.
