Zelensky said that Russian Federation intensified shelling

Since 20 April, Russia has increased the intensity of shelling on the frontline. According to the information of the AFU commander in chief, Oleksandr Syrskyy, 26 assaults by Russia were recorded between midnight and noon this day. This was reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The President said that despite Ukraine's statement on mirror measures in response to Russia's actions, since 10 am there has been an increase in the number of Russian shelling and the use of kamikaze drones. As of 10:00, the ceasefire had already lasted 16 hours. Zelensky noted that the use of FPV drones by the Russian army has doubled.

The greatest activity on the part of the Russian army was recorded this morning in the Pokrovskyi and Severskyi directions. Strikes with the use of heavy weapons continue in these and some other areas of the front," the president added.

We would like to remind you that Russian leader Vladimir Putin declared an "Easter truce" under which Russia allegedly suspended all hostilities from 18:00 on 19 April until 00:00 on 21 April.
