"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday called Russia's unilateral ceasefire announcement "not even a token attempt." "As we did over the past 24 hours, Ukraine will respond in kind today as well," Zelensky wrote on X."
"Ukraine criticized Russian leader Vladimir Putin for only announcing the ceasefire so that he would be able to hold the Victory Day Parade over Nazi Germany in Moscow. Zelenskyy also said Russia carried out hundreds of attacks on the front line using short-range drones."
"Kyiv said Moscow ignored a Ukrainian counter-proposal to halt fighting earlier this week, Zelensky had cast the Ukrainian proposal as a test of whether the Kremlin was serious about providing a brief respite in the four-year war. But already on Wednesday, Ukraine said that Russia had shown no will to stop fighting, by attacking Ukrainian cities overnight with more than 100 combat drones and three missiles."
"President Zelenskyy said one attack in the city of Poltava was "especially vile" because Russia launched a second missile at the same target when emergency rescuers were working at the scene.
