Three-Day Ceasefire Ends After Reported Violations Across Ukraine

A U.S.-announced pause exposed how fragile the restraint was.

Overview

  • Local officials said the truce that ran May 9–11 ended Monday with three civilians killed and 16 injured in fresh attacks.
  • A Russian drone hit a nine-story building in Kharkiv’s Industrialnyi district on Friday, injuring five people including two 8-year-old boys and damaging the lift shaft and dozens of windows.
  • Ukraine’s Air Force said it downed all 27 drones launched overnight from Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Millerovo during the pause.
  • Ukraine’s General Staff said fighting never stopped, logging 180 combat engagements over the last day and, on Saturday, reporting thousands of Russian kamikaze drones and attacks.
  • President Donald Trump announced the May 9–11 pause as part of a deal that included a large prisoner swap, yet regional reports show the truce held unevenly across frontline areas.
