Donbas
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Putin and Russia's Vladimir Putin discussed the situation in Donbas over the phone. According to Zelenskyy's press service, they welcomed the agreement on a complete and comprehensive ceasefire as of 27 July. Zelensky also raised the issue of Crimean Tatar Ruslan Suleymanov, who is held by Russia and whose 3-year-old son was found dead in sewage.
The Ukrainian Defence Ministry has issued a statement, saying that a full and comprehensive ceasefire would be implemented only if the principles of the agreement are honoured by all sides. "A complete and comprehensive ceasefire does not deprive servicemen of the right, in case of violation of agreements by the enemy, to act in accordance with international law and the national law of Ukraine in case of not only offensive but also provocative actions, sabotage and reconnaissance operations and if there is danger to the life and health of military personnel, civilians, damage or destruction of infrastructure," the statement reads.
Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Ruslan Khomchak has warned Ukrainians against failing pray to "guided acts of provocation" and "hybrid manifestations of panic" around the agreed ceasefire. He added that it does not deprive servicemen of the right to return fire if the enemy breaches the agreements.
