Russia and Ukraine continued exchanging attacks despite Moscow’s declaration of a two-day temporary truce coinciding with “Victory Day” celebrations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces launched attacks using around 850 drones over recent hours, while Kyiv announced it had downed 56 Russian drones.

Ukraine rejected recognition of the truce, describing it as an attempt to protect Moscow’s military parade only.

Zelenskyy also warned Russia’s allies against participating in celebrations in the Russian capital while the war continues.
