Smoke rose Saturday over the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after a strike during Moscow’s self-declared cease-fire. Russia’s self-declared 36-hour cease-fire expired with little letup in the fighting on Sunday morning, as Russian forces continued shelling across eastern Ukraine and Moscow-installed officials accused Ukrainian forces of bombing a power plant in occupied Donetsk. The cease-fire, which Russian President Vladimir Putin said would last from noon on Friday to midnight on Saturday, when the Russian Orthodox Church celebrated Christmas, brought little slowdown in the fighting. Ukraine dismissed the call to put down weapons as a ploy and refused to participate.
