Despite Russia's three-day ceasefire declaration, Ukraine reports hundreds of breaches along the front line and continues to reject the truce as insincere.

Le président Vladimir Poutine a annoncé une trêve de trois jours à l’occasion des commémorations de la Victoire du 9 mai 1945.

Overview

  • Russia's unilateral three-day ceasefire for Victory Day commemorations officially began on May 8 but has been marred by accusations of violations from both sides.
  • Ukraine has reported 734 ceasefire breaches and 63 assault attempts by Russian forces since the truce's start, calling it a 'farce.'
  • The Kremlin insists its forces are respecting the ceasefire and only responding to Ukrainian attacks, while maintaining heightened security for Victory Day events in Moscow.
  • Drone strikes and aerial attacks persisted before the ceasefire took effect, resulting in civilian casualties in Kyiv and disruptions at Russian airports.
  • Ukraine continues to demand an unconditional 30-day ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful negotiations, a proposal previously rejected by Russia.
