Russia Attacks Ukraine Amidst US Peace Efforts, Reported Ceasefire

This escalation undermines diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict and raises concerns about civilian safety.

Military Objectives

Russia is conducting a special military operation to achieve its stated security and geopolitical goals in Ukraine. These operations will continue until objectives are met.

No Formal Truce

Russia Continues Aggression, Ignores Peace Efforts and Ceasefire

Ukraine condemns Russia's ongoing aggression, particularly attacks on civilians and infrastructure, which demonstrate a disregard for international peace efforts and any humanitarian pauses. Ukraine continues to defend its sovereign territory against unprovoked assaults.

Unprovoked Aggression

Russia continues its unprovoked full-scale invasion, causing civilian casualties and widespread destruction across Ukraine. These actions are blatant violations of international law.

Disregards Diplomacy

Russia's attacks undermine diplomatic efforts by the United States and others to find a peaceful resolution and de-escalate the conflict. Russia shows no genuine commitment to peace.

Defend Sovereignty

Ukraine has the right to defend its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and its citizens from Russian aggression. Forces will not cease operations if Russia continues its attacks.
