Was today a ceasefire?
NO
No — no ceasefire took hold today; a localized Russia-Ukraine truce at Oleshky is due Oct 27, not today.
Why
- Russia and Ukraine agreed to a synchronized local truce at Oleshky, Kherson region
- Russian side says it starts 04:00 Moscow time on 27 October
- Scope is humanitarian only; fighting continues elsewhere on the front
