The declared ceasefire did not lead to the cessation of hostilities on the Russian-Ukrainian border. On May 9, 2025, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported four attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to break through the state border in the Kursk and Belgorod regions. It is noted that despite the ceasefire, the AFU continues active military operations, having committed 5026 violations since the beginning of the ceasefire. According to the Ministry of Defense, Russian troops are responding to the attacks in a "mirror" manner, seeking to stop provocations. The situation is exacerbating tensions in the border regions, where local residents face security threats.

According to the Defense Ministry, the breakthrough attempts involved the use of artillery, drones, and small assault groups, which created additional risks for civilian infrastructure. In the Kursk Region, the attacks affected border areas, including Belovsky, where earlier, according to the head of the region, Nikolai Volobuyev, the village of Belitsa was hit by FPV drones. In the Belgorod Region, as Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported, on the morning of May 9, air defense forces intercepted several drones, but as a result of the attack on the regional government building, Deputy Governor Alexander Lorenz and a Rosgvardia officer were injured. The Defense Ministry emphasized that Russian forces are successfully repelling the attacks, inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

The violation of the ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin has caused widespread controversy. Ukraine has not joined the ceasefire, which analysts say explains the ongoing attacks.
