MOSCOW: The Russian Defense Ministry said the ceasefire in Ukraine has ended and military operations have resumed. Russia has said Ukraine was not interested in continuing the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that a third round of talks between Ukraine and Russia could take place on Monday. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Ukraine that he would go ahead with military action. The conflict will only get worse if no-fly is imposed in Ukraine. Putin warned of severe repercussions if any country seeks to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Putin added that Russia's military action in Ukraine was moving in the right direction.

The ceasefire was announced in the strategic port city of Mariupol in southeastern Ukraine and in the eastern city of Volanovka. The agreement was to evacuate people from 10 am on Saturday (12.30 pm Indian time). The city council said the evacuation has been postponed because Russian troops continued shelling Mariupol. The city of Mariupol, which is surrounded by Russian troops, has a population of 4.5 million. Electricity and water have been cut off here. The food supply has been halted. There is also a shortage of medicines
