Russia<\/a> has accused Kyiv<\/a> of breaking a US-brokered ceasefire, while Ukrainian officials claimed one person had been killed and more injured by Russian drone and artillery strikes in the past 24 hours. <\/p>\n Two people were injured by Ukrainian shelling in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine<\/a>‘s Kherson<\/a> region, the area’s Moscow<\/a>-installed leader Vladimir Saldo said on Sunday. <\/p>\n Separately, Russia’s Ministry of Defense accused Kyiv of committing more than 1,000 ceasefire violations, state media reported, citing a daily briefing on Sunday. The ministry stated Ukrainian forces had attacked civilian targets in several Russian regions and carried out strikes against Russian military positions on the frontline. <\/p>\n Russia’s military \u201cresponded in kind\u201d to the ceasefire violations, the ministry said.<\/p>\n Ukrainian officials said Russia had launched attacks, but they stopped short of accusing Moscow of violating the US-brokered truce that was confirmed by Donald Trump<\/a>, which came into force on Saturday.<\/p>\n Ivan Fedorov, head of Ukraine’s 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’s 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 US 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, 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’s President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a>, who had said Russian authorities \u201cfear drones may buzz over Red Square<\/a>\u201d during the May 9 parade 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<\/a> shrugged off the comment as a \u201csilly joke.\u201d<\/p>\n Ukraine\u2019s air force said Sunday it had shot down or destroyed all of the 27 strike and decoy drones launched by Russia overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":788420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[10273,50,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-788419","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-international-relations","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116555211640756801","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Donald](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/download-1.jpg\")
