The Straits Times describes it as the longest truce of the Ukraine war, which is now in its fifth year. Channel NewsAsia reports that Ukraine was evacuating civilians from parts of the Kherson region as the expiry of the ceasefire approached, and that it was the longest local pause in fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Euronews reports, citing Kyiv, that Russia has resumed attacks on the Kherson region after the truce ended. The reports differ on timing: the BBC, The Straits Times and Euronews say the truce has ended, while Channel NewsAsia's report describes its expiry as still approaching.
