Both nations report heavy artillery and drone strikes across the entire seven-hundred-mile front line as the violence continues without any sign of stopping.
Now, officials confirm casualties in Belgorod, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions despite diplomatic hopes for a truce extension among the global powers. These kinetic strikes mask any real progress toward peace because the local truce broke.
