Today marks the 81st anniversary of the Victory, and the Russian Armed Forces entered the day under a strict ceasefire ordered by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. But as the sun rose, the guns did not fall silent. The Ukrainian side, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence, carried out over sixteen thousand ceasefire violations in just twenty-four hours. We’re going to piece together exactly what happened on the ground, sector by sector, and, crucially, what it means for the campaign.

I’m joined by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an infantry officer who’s been leading combined-arms formations throughout the special military operation. Colonel, welcome back to Frontline Updates.
