The ceasefire agreement reached between the Russian and Ukrainian militaries has failed to live up to the expectations of both sides. The ceasefire was supposed to provide a way for the two countries to begin talks about a possible resolution of their differences, but instead it has led to more violence and death.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on September 17 that the ceasefire was annulled, effectively ending the truce negotiations. This comes as a shock given the fact that many experts had thought that Putin would follow through with his pledge to broker a truce in order to reduce the number of casualties.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk said that the failure of the ceasefire was due to Russian artillery shelling which continued even after it became clear that it was not safe for people to cross into the other side. He also stated that Russian forces were still operating in Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which is where much of the fighting is taking place.

The Russian Doctrine Behind the Ceasefire Agreement
The Russian doctrine behind the ceasefire agreement is that it is in the interests of both Russia and Ukraine to maintain peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that he wants to normalize relations between Russia and Ukraine in order to make sure that there is no chance for a civil war. He also believes that a ceasefire agreement would be difficult to enforce because it would rely on both sides being willing to comply with the terms of the agreement.
Ukrainian President Arseny Yatsenyuk has said that his goal is not just to end the violence, but also to create a new governing structure in which all people can feel comfortable living under. He also insists that he wants an impartial investigation into the deaths of civilians.
How Russian artillery shelling continued even after it became clear that it was not safe for people to cross into the other side
Russian artillery shelling continued even after it became clear that it was not safe for people to cross into the other side. This means that Russian forces were still firing at Ukrainian positions even after the truce agreement was supposed to have ended. This is a severe violation of the ceasefire agreement, and it ensures that more innocent people are going to die.
What would have been needed to make the ceasefire work
The ceasefire agreement would have needed to include a freeze of hostilities, the withdrawal of Russian forces from some parts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, and the release of all hostages. However, these conditions have not been met.
The ceasefire agreement was supposed to provide a way for the two countries to begin talks about a possible resolution of their differences, but instead it has led to more violence and death.
Russia’s Use of Illicit fire in Donetsk and Lugansk Regions
The Russian military has been using illicit fire in Donetsk and Lugansk regions in order to increase the chances of a successful ceasefire. This is a violation of the ceasefire agreement as it increases the risk of civilian casualties. It also means that Russian forces are still able to use heavy artillery and mortar fire in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The Need forRussian troops to leave Donetsk and Lugansk Regions
The failure of the ceasefire agreement means that Russian troops will have to leave Donetsk and Lugansk regions. This will lead to more violence and death. The delay in the agreement also means that there is a possibility that there will not be a resolution to the conflict until early next year. If this happens, it would mean that more people will die in the meantime.
