Russia announced a unilateral ceasefire on May 8th and 9th during its weekend of celebrations for Victory Day, a commemoration of the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized Moscow for calling for a truce without talking to Kyiv first, and for killing several Ukrainians in a missile strike on the same day the ceasefire was announced. Zelenskyy responded by calling his own unilateral truce, beginning on May 6 at midnight and without a fixed end date. #
