  • Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, advised diplomatic missions to evacuate their personnel from Kyiv, urging countries to take this statement with "utmost responsibility".
  • Ukraine reported that Russia had violated its own unilateral ceasefire a significant 1,820 times by Wednesday morning.
  • Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned Russia's continued attacks as an "obvious spurning" of a peace opportunity offered by Kyiv, stating Ukraine would determine its "entirely justified responses".
