Ukrainian sources centred the successful evacuation, the return of the delegation and evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory, and the delivery of aid to residents who remained. They stressed that Ukrainian forces fully observed the ceasefire, while citing allegations that Russian troops used the pause for logistics, casualty evacuation, troop rotation and fortification. Ukrainian military reporting also noted that remote mining of the right bank before the ceasefire caused casualties and warned that shelling, advances into the island zone and attempts to consolidate there could resume.
