President Zelenskyy Declares Immediate Ceasefire Starting Midnight May 6 Amid Victory Day Tensions
  • New Directive: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a unilateral ceasefire to begin at 00:00 (midnight) on the night of May 5–6, emphasizing that "human life is more valuable than any anniversary."
  • Reaction to Russia: The move follows Russia's declaration of its own truce from May 8–9 for "Victory Day," which Kyiv dismissed as a symbolic gesture to protect Moscow's military parade from drone strikes.
  • Reciprocal Warning: Ukraine has stated it will act symmetrically; while hostilities are halted at midnight, any Russian violation will be met with immediate reciprocal military action.
  • Escalating Threats: The announcement comes amidst a stark warning from the Kremlin, which threatened "massive missile strikes" on central Kyiv if the May 9 celebrations are disrupted.
