07.05.2026The Victory Day Truce Day

The day was dominated by Russia's announcement of a unilateral ceasefire for May 8-9 in honor of Victory Day, with the Defense Ministry warning of massive retaliatory strikes on Kyiv if violated. State-aligned outlets emphasized the truce and threats, while independent sources noted the Kremlin's dismissal of peace talks unless Ukraine withdraws from Donbas. Earlier, the Foreign Ministry's evacuation warning for foreign diplomats in Kyiv continued to reverberate, with the EU refusing to comply. Drone attacks persisted, with over 60 UAVs downed near Moscow and strikes on Bryansk and Perm.
