The Moscow mayor reported 19 drones intercepted over the capital, with additional attacks continuing throughout the day, causing disruptions at Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports.
Mid-day brought a significant 205-for-205 prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine, with the Kremlin simultaneously reiterating that Putin's three-day Victory Day truce initiative remains valid despite ongoing hostilities. Russian military claimed to have liberated Lysovka village in Donetsk.
29 foreign leaders are expected at Moscow's May 9 Victory Day parade, though Lithuanian airspace was closed to flights carrying Serbian President Vučić.
