The Ukrainian military is prepared to respond to any violations of the ceasefire by Russia using the “mirror response” principle.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this.
The command noted that, at the direction of the president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, tasked the Defense Forces with ensuring compliance with the ceasefire on land, in the air, and at sea during the Easter holidays.
At the same time, it is emphasized that Ukraine will act strictly according to the principle of a mirror response.
Given Russia’s prior violations of the agreement, Ukrainian military personnel are prepared to immediately respond to any provocations or offensive actions.
The General Staff clarified that the following could be grounds for opening fire:
- advancement of enemy units to the front line;
- carrying out engineering works;
- regrouping of forces and resources;
- signs of preparation for assault actions.
In such cases, Ukrainian units have the right to open fire to kill.
A similar approach will be applied in other domains—at sea and in the air. In particular, missile or attack drone launches against Ukrainian territory will also be met with a response.
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated his readiness for any ceasefire format , including one for Easter. Ukraine would agree to a ceasefire if Russia completely ceased attacks.
As a reminder, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that the president’s proposal for a ceasefire on Easter “has a chance of being implemented.”
The Kremlin initially responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s proposal for an Easter truce by stating that Moscow does not support the idea of a ceasefire during the holidays .
However, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin later announced an Easter truce.
At the same time, it is known that Russia does not plan to continue the so-called Easter truce and states that it is supposedly of a purely humanitarian nature.
