Russia accused Kyiv of breaking a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on Sunday, while Ukrainian officials said that one person had been killed and more injured by Russian drone and artillery strikes<\/a> in the past 24 hours. <\/p>\n

Two people were injured by Ukrainian shelling in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine\u2019s Kherson region, the area\u2019s Moscow-installed leader Vladimir Saldo said. <\/p>\n

Separately, Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defense accused Kyiv of committing more than 1,000 ceasefire violations, state media reported, citing a daily briefing on Sunday. The ministry said Ukrainian forces had attacked civilian targets in several Russian regions and carried out strikes against Russian military positions on the front line. <\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s military \u201cresponded in kind\u201d to the ceasefire violations,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian officials said Russia had launched attacks, although they stopped short of accusing Moscow of violating the U.S.-brokered truce that came into force on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ivan Fedorov, head of Ukraine\u2019s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, said one person had been killed and three more injured by artillery and drone attacks in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of Ukraine\u2019s Kherson, said that seven people had been wounded over the same period. <\/p>\n

Five people were also injured when a Russian drone attack damaged a nine-storey apartment block in the industrial district of Ukraine\u2019s second-largest city, Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the Kharkiv regional administration, said late Saturday.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Russia and Ukraine had bowed to his request for a ceasefire running Saturday through Monday to mark Victory Day<\/a>, the Russian celebration marking the defeat of Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n

Trump said there would also be an exchange of prisoners, declaring that the break in fighting could be the \u201cbeginning of the end\u201d of the war.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had said Russian authorities \u201cfear drones may buzz over Red Square\u201d during the May 9 parade<\/a> in Moscow, followed up on Trump\u2019s statement by mockingly declaring Red Square temporarily off-limits for Ukrainian strikes to allow the Russian parade to go ahead. The Kremlin shrugged off the comment as a \u201csilly joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said on Sunday he expects U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump\u2019s son-in-law, Jared Kushner \u2014 who have both taken a leading role in negotiations to end the war \u2014 to visit Moscow \u201csoon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he stressed that Moscow would not move from its demand that Kyiv\u2019s troops withdraw from Ukraine\u2019s eastern Donbas region. \u201cUntil (Ukraine) takes that step, we can hold several more rounds, dozens of rounds (of negotiations), but we\u2019ll be stuck in the same place,\u201d Ushakov was cited by the state news agency Tass as saying.<\/p>\n
