A Russian drone strike set a house on fire in Ukraine's second‑largest city Kharkiv, with firefighters seen tackling flames and thick smoke rising from the site in emergency service footage. Russia announced a ceasefire for May 8 to 9 to coincide with commemorations of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two and a military parade in Moscow's Red Square.
Ukraine announced its own proposal for an open-ended ceasefire starting at midnight on May 8, urging Russia to reciprocate. Ukraine accused Russia of violating the ceasefire, with officials reporting one person killed and three wounded in regions in the north and east of the country. #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #kyiv #ceasefire
