Humanitarian mission allowed before expiry

The temporary pause in fighting began early Tuesday and facilitated a humanitarian operation for residents of Oleshky. Neither side reported violations during the initial period of the truce. A senior Kyiv official stated that Moscow declined an offer to prolong the arrangement.

Wider conflict continues elsewhere

Fighting has persisted in other areas while the localised ceasefire held since last week. Russian strikes on energy infrastructure left hundreds of thousands without power overnight. Ukraine responded by hitting a major missile fuel producer in Russia's Rostov region.
