MOSCOW, May 9 (Reuters) - Ukrainian troops have made further attempts to breach the Russian border in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, Interfax news agency reported on Friday, citing the Russian Defence Ministry.
It said the attacks occurred during a three-day ceasefire that Russia has unilaterally declared to mark the 80th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.
Ukraine says Russia has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, which Moscow denies. Kyiv did not agree to the truce but has proposed instead that the two countries should adopt a ceasefire lasting at least 30 days.
