In a sharp rebuke, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha dismissed the three-day ceasefire declared by President Vladimir Putin as nothing but a 'farce.'

The ceasefire, announced to coincide with Russia's annual May 9 parade on Red Square, was intended to mark the end of World War Two.

Yet, within hours of its enforcement, Russian forces were reported to have repeatedly breached the ceasefire, continuing their offensive across the frontline, as per Sybiha's statements on social media platform X.
