Suspilne reported the information.

According to the outlet, a similar order was given to Ukrainian troops during the so-called "Easter truce."

At the same time, Ukrainian forces recorded violations of the "truce" proposed by Russia. Since midnight on May 8, Russia's artillery shelling, drone strikes, and FPV drone attacks have continued. Positional fighting has also not stopped in the Kherson region.

On Thursday, May 8, Russia declared the start of a so-called truce timed to the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II.
