Ukraine accuses Russia of breaking Kyiv ceasefire

Ukraine accused Russia of striking several cities after a unilateral ceasefire declared by President Volodymyr Zelensky came into force at midnight on 6 May, though Moscow had not agreed to observe the pause. Kyiv said Russian forces launched more than 100 drones and three missiles after the ceasefire began. Ukraine said the attacks showed Moscow had rejected the offer, which Zelensky announced in response to a separate Russian ceasefire plan tied to Victory Day events in Moscow.
