Ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region ends after Russia refuses extension

The longest truce of the war in Ukraine, localised in the region of Kherson, ended on Sunday after Russia refused to extend the ceasefire. The temporary pause in fighting, which began on Tuesday, enabled a humanitarian mission to the Russian-occupied town of Olechky.

乌克兰官员称，由美国第一夫人斡旋、仅限赫尔松东部地区的停火在持续数日后于周日结束，因为俄方拒绝延长。停火期间人道救援与居民撤离得以进行，但乌方军官担忧俄军在平静期集结兵力，战斗重启后局势可能更糟。
