The Russian armed forces resumed their advance in Ukraine at 3 pm GMT due to Kiev not wanting to influence nationalists or extend the ceasefire between the two parties, Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Saturday.

"Nationalist battalions have used the ceasefire to regroup and strengthen the positions held," Konashenkov told reporters, revealing that the advance resumed "in light of the unwillingness of the Ukrainian side to influence the nationalists or extend the ceasefire."
