Actually, the Russian ruler had almost eleven months after the beginning of the war in the Ukraine announced a ceasefire for the Orthodox Christmas. This was not complied with. In the eastern Ukrainian cities of Kramatorsk and Bakhmut, there were still fighting on Friday.
Russian forces launched rocket attacks on Kramatorsk after the announced ceasefire, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, told Telegram. In the recently heavily contested city of Bakhmut, AFP reporters heard gunfire from both the Russian and Ukrainian sides. Meanwhile, Ukraine is waiting for a German Patriot anti-aircraft system.

3:31 a.m .: Russia repels attack on Crimea
According to state information, the Russian air defense has repelled another drone attack on the Crimean Peninsula, which has been annexed since 2014. The unmanned flying object was shot down early on Saturday morning over a pier near Sevastopol, the naval base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the city’s governor, Mikhail Rasvozhayev, wrote in his Telegram channel, according to the Tass state agency.
The port has been the target of Ukrainian drone attacks on several occasions, most recently on January 4 when two drones were shot down. Despite the ceasefire unilaterally announced by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin on the occasion of Orthodox Christmas, renewed fighting broke out in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, according to Tass, Putin himself attended an Orthodox Christmas service in the Kremlin’s Cathedral of the Annunciation. Russia supplies its occupying forces in southern Ukraine primarily via the Crimea. Ukraine is therefore repeatedly targeting logistical and military targets on the peninsula.
