09.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Putin Declared the Conflict Nearing an End
⌨
Victory Day dominated Russian media, with state-aligned outlets covering the scaled-back parade on Red Square—without military vehicles for the first time since 2007—and Putin's speeches emphasizing Russia's advance in Ukraine and blaming NATO. Independent Meduza and The Moscow Times reported mobile internet was cut in central Moscow and confirmed Russian losses exceeding 350,000. By evening, Putin stated the Ukraine conflict is heading toward an end, agreed in principle to meet Zelensky, and noted a three-day ceasefire was in place with no further agreements. The Kremlin also confirmed that no new ceasefire deals were reached beyond the May 9-11 truce brokered by Trump.
