Kyiv/Moscow - Russia's President Vladimir Putin ordered a ceasefire for the Orthodox Christmas.
A 36-hour ceasefire is in effect from Friday (January 6) at 10:00 a.m. to Saturday (January 7) at 10:00 p.m. Central European Time.
But for Ukraine it is just a hypocritical red herring.
An air alert was sounded in Ukraine on Friday and the Ukrainian army attacked the Russian army.
On the night of Saturday, the Russian air defense shot down a drone over Sevastopol.

A base of the Russian army was hit in the village of Havrylivka Druha in the Cherson region near Crimea, the general staff said in its situation report on Facebook on Friday.
