Ukraine introduced a ceasefire at midnight between May 5 and 6. Russia violated it immediately, once again deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians and ignoring a realistic and fair call to stop the fighting, supported by other states and international organisations.
In the Dnipro region, Russia attacked four districts, killing 4 people and injuring 19. In the Sumy region, Russian strikes killed one person and wounded another. In the Kharkiv region, two people were injured as a result of Russian attack. Overnight, Russia launched 108 drones and 3 missiles, striking several regions across Ukraine.
Russia’s talk of a “ceasefire” on May 9 is not about diplomacy. Putin cares only about military parades.
Only stronger pressure can stop Russia: new rounds of sanctions, deeper international isolation, full accountability for war crimes, and increased support for Ukraine in all areas.
