The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
MOSCOW | TASS | The Kiev regime did not respond to Russia’s Victory Day ceasefire initiative and launched large-scale attacks almost immediately, Russian President Vladimir Putin has told reporters in the Kremlin.
“The Kiev government … left our ceasefire proposal unanswered,” he said. “Moreover, shortly after we announced our proposal … on May 5, the Kiev government launched large-scale attacks overnight to May 7.”
In his words, the May 7 attack involved 524 drones and a number of Western-made missiles.
“Simultaneously, 45 drone boats were used in the Black Sea,” Putin said, adding that the attacks continued on May 8, 9 and 10 as well.
Meanwhile, the UN Secretariat will refrain from commenting on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to resume direct talks with Kiev in Istanbul.
“I don’t have a comment,” Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, told TASS.
Earlier in the day, Putin suggested resuming direct negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15.
