Russia's declared ceasefire created an uneasy quiet in Ukraine on Friday, as officials in Kyiv continued to accuse Moscow of a ploy.
Despite the order, which was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, air raid sirens still sounded across the Ukrainian capital, although no explosions were reported.
The 36-hour long ceasefire was made to coincide with the Orthodox Christmas, which is celebrated across both Ukraine and Russia.
Kyiv has not clarified whether its forces would join with the temporary peace, while Moscow didn’t say if its own troops would retaliate should Ukraine keep fighting.
