What happens when Ukraine offers Russia a real ceasefire before Victory Day? According to overnight events, the answer was drone strikes, civilian deaths, and a kindergarten in Sumy hit by Russian attacks. Zelensky challenged Putin directly: if Russia truly wanted peace for the May 9 parade, start the ceasefire immediately and extend it through the celebrations. For a few hours, things went quiet. Then came more drones, more strikes, and another test of whether Moscow ever intended to stop fighting at all. Meanwhile, Ukraine continued hitting Russian military and security targets in occupied territory while Russian assaults intensified across multiple fronts.
