It also said 74 drones were redirected by electronic warfare and that damage was recorded in four regions.<\/li>\n<li>One of those attacks struck a gas facility in Ukraine\u2019s central Cherkasy region, according to the regional governor, leaving consumers in parts of the city of Cherkasy and surrounding villages without gas.<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised his foreign intelligence service for the \u201cliquidation\u201d of top Russian military figures, in remarks seen as a reference to the killing of senior Russian military officer Yarosalv Moskalik in a car bombing last week.<\/li>\n<li>The Ministry of Defence in Moscow said it destroyed 51 Ukrainian drones in the space of less than three hours late on Monday, most of them over Russia\u2019s western Kursk region.<\/li>\n<li>A military analyst said that Ukraine\u2019s decision to mount an incursion into Kursk was a strategy blunder that allowed Russia to claim additional territory inside Ukraine. \u201cEssentially, Ukraine traded territory it values the most \u2013 its own \u2013 for territory it didn\u2019t value and that it couldn\u2019t hold forever,\u201d Christopher McCallion, a fellow at Defense Priorities, a Washington, DC-based think tank, said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Russia declares unilateral truce<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li>Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a three-day ceasefire in his war against Ukraine, from May 8 to May 10, to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union and its allies in World War II.<\/li>\n<li>Zelenskyy said the world did not want to wait until May 8 for a truce, and called for a \u201cfull and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days\u201d to provide \u201ca basis for real diplomacy\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>The White House said United States President Donald Trump wants a permanent ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and that Putin and Zelenskyy needed to come to the negotiating table to end the war.<\/li>\n<li>The statement came as the Trump administration hit its 100th day in power having failed to make good on a promise to bring an end to the war in Ukraine \u201cshortly\u201d after taking office.<\/li>\n<li>French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview on Monday that Western allies would \u201cincrease pressure on Russia\u201d over the next 10 days, and that he had told the US to harden its stance against Moscow.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier told allies at a ceremony at NATO\u2019s Brussels headquarters that \u201cyou can count on us\u201d, citing Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine as a critical threat.<\/li>\n<li>The United Kingdom proposed a broad statement of shared values with the European Union which stresses support for Ukraine\u2019s territorial integrity, the Paris Climate Agreement and free trade, according to a draft document released ahead of an EU-UK summit next month.<\/li>\n<li>Amazon launched a rival service to Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink launching its first batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites.
