[Flash] Russia Continues Drone Strikes Despite Ukraine Ceasefire
Russia has launched dozens of drones at Ukrainian targets despite Kyiv’s announcement of a unilateral ceasefire, the Associated Press reported.
Ukraine had declared a ceasefire ahead of Victory Day commemorations, but Moscow has not reciprocated. The strikes killed dozens of people before the ceasefire could take full effect, highlighting the stark divergence between the two sides’ positions.
Analysts note that Russia’s refusal to halt attacks suggests it maintains battlefield momentum, while Ukraine’s unilateral ceasefire is driven more by diplomatic and humanitarian considerations. The ceasefire standoff appears unlikely to resolve in the near term.
