AFU carrying out defense tasks according to plan, ceasefire cannot be unilateral – General Staff

The Main Directorate of Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has stated that the defense tasks are being carried out according to plan, and a unilateral ceasefire is not feasible due to the potential risk to the lives and health of servicemen. The AFU emphasizes that a ceasefire regime cannot be unilateral or asymmetric, as it would endanger the well-being of its troops.

Therefore, the defense operation is being executed fully, according to the agency's sources. It is worth noting that there have been reports from media outlets and bloggers, citing sources within the security sector, suggesting that Ukrainian units were ordered to observe a silence regime from September 5 to September 8 on land, air, and sea.

However, Interfax-Ukraine has not received official confirmation of such an order from the Defense Forces.
