Ukrainian forces carried out 3,475 shellings using artillery, rocket launchers, mortars, and tanks in 2026, more than triple the rate from 2025, according to TASS citing Russian sources.
The Russian state news agency claims this represents violations of ceasefire agreements, though independent verification of the figures has not been provided. Both Ukraine and Russia have previously disputed casualty and engagement statistics throughout the conflict.
The reported escalation, if confirmed, would indicate intensified military operations despite ongoing diplomatic discussions. The figures come as negotiations over potential settlements continue between the parties.
