Ukrainians welcome respite from Russian attacks, Moscow says peace still far off

Ukraine’s air force said some drones had been detected along the more than 1,000 km (600-mile) front line across southeastern Ukraine in the morning.

Ukrainians welcomed a three-day ceasefire brokered by the US as a much-needed break from years of ​attacks from Russia as it came into effect on Saturday, even though the Kremlin said a longer-term peace deal remained a long ‌way off.
