Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of violating temporary ceasefire understandings as military operations continued across parts of eastern and southern Ukraine. Russian authorities also reported attacks involving drones and cross-border strikes during the same period.
The accusations came during celebrations connected to Victory Day, a major Russian holiday marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Despite diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing violence, both sides continued military activity, highlighting the difficulty of securing even short-term pauses in fighting.
The conflict has entered another year with heavy casualties, damaged infrastructure and widespread displacement affecting millions of civilians. Western governments continue providing military and financial support to Ukraine, while Russia has maintained pressure through missile strikes and territorial offensives.
International organizations have repeatedly called for renewed negotiations, though major differences remain over territory, security guarantees and conditions for peace. Analysts say recent incidents demonstrate how fragile ceasefire arrangements remain as the war continues with no clear resolution in sight.
