The day began with Russia's unilateral ceasefire already in effect, but Ukraine launched over 200 drones overnight, including 27 near Moscow, leading state-aligned outlets to report 1,365 ceasefire violations by Kyiv. By mid-morning, 13 southern Russian airports were closed after a drone hit an air traffic control center. In the afternoon, Putin labeled Kyiv's strike on the Rostov aviation center a terrorist act. The major shift came in the evening: Trump announced a three-day ceasefire from May 9 to 11, brokered with both Russia and Ukraine, including a prisoner swap. Both sides confirmed, and Russia agreed to extend its earlier truce. Independent sources noted the irony of the earlier violations, while state media framed the deal as a diplomatic win.
