Russia Relaunches Military Operation After Truce Ends


(MENAFN) Russia has relaunched its military campaign following the expiration of a short-lived ceasefire, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed Tuesday, signaling a return to active combat operations after a four-day pause.

Russian forces held their positions throughout the truce period — from Friday through Monday — without territorial advancement, the ministry said in a statement, framing the pause as a strictly observed standdown.

"With the end of the ceasefire agreement, Russian forces have continued conducting the special military operation," it said.

The resumption marks the collapse of what had been a brief window for potential de-escalation, with Moscow showing no indication of willingness to extend the halt in fighting. No further negotiations or ceasefire extensions were announced as operations got back underway.
