According to information from Kiev, both the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces are using the current ceasefire to bring in reinforcements and rotate their troops. In addition, new weapons and ammunition are also being brought to the front lines, Ukrainian army press spokesman Viktor Trehubov said on television. "They (the Russians) are actually taking a break today and using it to bring in reinforcements, to rotate and to restore their offensive capabilities." Something similar is also happening on the Ukrainian side.

The situation on the fronts is calm for the time being. "Everything is normal at the moment," said Trehubov. Although there is still some fighting, it is much less intense. There had been "a kind of day of rest". Presumably, the Russian military did not want to provoke any incidents during the victory parade in Moscow to mark the end of the Second World War.
