03.05.2025 ⇢ Day Victory Day Truce Rejection After Massive Drone Strikes
⌨
The day began with extensive reporting on a massive Ukrainian drone attack overnight, with Russian sources claiming 170 drones were shot down across six regions. Four to five people were injured in Novorossiysk, where authorities declared a state of emergency after drones damaged apartment buildings.
By mid-morning, Russian media highlighted Zelensky's rejection of Putin's proposed Victory Day truce. Kremlin spokesman Peskov responded that the ceasefire offer was a "test of Kyiv's readiness for peace." Former president Medvedev threatened that if Ukraine provoked Russia on May 9, "there are no guarantees May 10 would come" for Ukraine.
The afternoon focused on reports of Ukrainian forces allegedly attempting to infiltrate Kursk region, with claims that Kadyrov's "Akhmat" special forces prevented the incursion. Russia also reported destroying Ukrainian maritime drones in the Black Sea and intercepting drones over Murmansk region, marking an expansion of the conflict's geography.
