Ukrainian officials told AFP there had been no orders for additional security measures to be taken so far. “We’re just giving (the Russians) the finger,” said one lawmaker, speaking anonymously.
Ukraine’s air force said Russia had fired 67 drones overnight – the lowest number in almost a month.
“Despite the declared ceasefire, the enemy has not reduced the intensity of assault operations,” Zelenskyy said, adding that Ukraine was responding in kind.
Russia said it had downed more than 400 Ukrainian drones – 100 of them targeting Moscow – since midnight, and that its troops were “responding symmetrically”.
A Ukrainian drone killed a 41-year-old man and his 15-year-old daughter in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region, said the Moscow-backed administration.
Zelenskyy hailed a Ukrainian strike on an oil depot in the Yaroslavl region, around 200 kilometres (about 125 miles) northeast of Moscow.
Some 13 airports in southern Russia were closed Friday after a Ukrainian drone hit an air navigation centre in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, Moscow’s transport ministry said. It later said that flights had been partially restored.
Putin convened a security council meeting over the strike, calling it an “act of a terrorist nature” that could endanger civil aviation.
