06.05.2026The Day the Ceasefire Was Broken

The day began with reports that Russia had violated the silence regime proposed by Zelensky within hours, striking across Ukraine with drones and missiles. A Shahed drone destroyed a house in Kharkiv, and a kindergarten in Sumy was hit, killing at least one. By mid-morning, Zelensky announced Russia had violated the ceasefire 1,820 times and convened military leaders to prepare a mirror response. In the afternoon, Hungary returned Oschadbank funds and valuables seized under Orban. Russia deployed air defense to Moscow for the Victory Day parade, which Zelensky said opened the way for Ukrainian long-range strikes. By evening, Zelensky stated that Russia's parade now depends on Ukraine's actions, framing the day's events as a shift in leverage.
