Russia allegedly attacked eight settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region even during the claimed ceasefire, according to Ukrainian reports. The governor of the region reported over 220 attacks near the front line, with more than 150 drones and 70 artillery shells targeting the region's villages in the past 24 hours. A 63-year-old woman was killed in a drone strike, the governor stated. Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced a brief ceasefire to honor the 80th anniversary of the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II. Ukraine criticized the pause as a propaganda stunt and pressure for a 30-day extension. Russian authorities reported a drone assault on the regional administration in Belgorod, with no reported deaths.
09:09 Military Parade in Moscow Kicks Off
The traditional military parade to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II began in Moscow. The parade, the fourth since the onset of Russian invasion in Ukraine, featured thousands of soldiers and heavy military equipment on Red Square. Countless international guests, largely from Asia and Africa, attended the event. Chinese President Xi Jinping was the most important guest of Russian President Vladimir Putin this year. Putin was expected to justify the invasion of Ukraine in his speech, which led Western delegates to largely stay absent. The only head of government present from an EU and NATO country was the Slovak Robert Fico, while Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was also present.
08:57 Russia Commemorates World War II Victory with Multiple Parades
Russia honored the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II 80 years ago with military parades in several cities. One such parade was happening in Vladivostok, a port city on the Japanese Sea in the east of the country. About 30 parades took place in total across the country.
08:30 Ukraine Suffers Drone Attacks Despite Announced Ceasefire
Ukraine reported fresh Russian drone attacks despite the declared ceasefire by Moscow. Two civilians were injured in the attacks in Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk, local authorities disclosed.
07:56 ISW: Moscow's World War II Comparisons Intended to Unify Domestic Society
According to the U.S. think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Moscow compares the Second World War to the conflict in Ukraine intentionally, creating the ground for a prolonged war in Ukraine and potential further aggression against NATO within Russian society. The ISW highlights an essay published on Thursday by Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. He claims that Russia's war in Ukraine will be remembered as a heroic deed equal in importance to the victory of the Soviet Army and people in World War II. The conflict in Ukraine allegedly continues the "glorious traditions" of Soviet courage and heroism, as well as the enthusiasm of the Soviet people for military service and support for the war effort. Russia's victory in Ukraine is "inevitable," he says, while internal unity in Russia is as necessary as the "moral and spiritual unity" of the Soviet Union was for its victory in World War II.
07:01 Ukraine Says Moscow Violated Ceasefire Hundreds of Times
The Ukrainian military alleged that Russia repeatedly violated the three-day ceasefire declared by Moscow hundreds of times on the first day alone. The General Staff reported over 154 clashes during the day, in addition to 15 Russian air strikes, one missile strike, 830 drone strikes, and 2685 attacks on Ukrainian forces' positions and settlements. Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that the Russian army was strictly adhering to the ceasefire, only reacting to Ukrainian attacks. Russia had declared a three-day ceasefire to mark the anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. However, Ukraine has yet to commit to observing the ceasefire and is calling for a 30-day ceasefire as a basis for potential peace talks.
06:26 Poland Hopes China or Turkey Could Step In as Mediators if US Withdraws
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski believes that China or Turkey could take on the position previously held by the U.S. as mediator in the Ukraine conflict if the U.S. were to withdraw. He made the suggestion after an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Warsaw on Thursday. He expressed hope that U.S. mediation attempts regarding Russia and Ukraine would succeed, though other options would be needed if they failed. "There is Turkey, which maintains communication channels," Sikorski said. He also mentioned China which "has the means to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table and soften his demands." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had recently threatened to withdraw from the mediation efforts over the end of the Russian occupation of Ukraine.
04:41 Wadephul on Ukraine Aid: Germany Will Do Whatever's Necessary
Germany is set to remain among Ukraine's strongest supporters, according to Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul. "That will remain the case, and we will make that clear in the coming days," Wadephul said in the ARD "Tagesthemen." Wadephul is currently on his first visit to Ukraine, where he is participating in an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. He plans to figure out what Ukraine needs there. "We will do what's necessary, and we will continue to do so until Russia realizes that this war must end, that one must sit down at the negotiating table, and that one must now also consistently observe the ceasefire."
03:10 Russia Gains Understanding from U.S. According to Moscow Diplomat
Russian diplomat and former Russian ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Ushakov, claimed that the United States is starting to understand Russia's positions. "It appears clear that there is an understanding of what we are attempting to achieve as a result of this situation," Ushakov says on Russian state television, referring to the conflict in Ukraine. "To some extent, our demands, our thinking, and our proposals are being taken into account. Not all of them. But the process is in motion," he adds. Relations between Moscow and Washington have improved, with U.S. President Donald Trump moderating his administration's stance towards Russia, especially concerning Ukraine.
01:55 UK Targets Shadow Fleet: Sanctions Against 100 Tankers
The UK intends to impose sanctions on up to 100 oil tankers from the so-called Russian shadow fleet. According to the office of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, this constitutes the largest package of sanctions implemented against the shadow fleet. Ships under suspicion have transported cargo worth over $24 billion since the beginning of last year, and it is believed that they have been involved in damaging critical infrastructure. Starmer plans to announce these measures at a summit of the security alliance Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) in Oslo. The group of ten Northern European states, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, was established under British leadership in 2014 and serves as a complement to broader cooperation within the NATO military alliance.
00:53 Ukrainian Parliament Ratifies Resource Agreement with U.S.
The Ukrainian parliament passed the agreement with the U.S. to create a joint reconstruction fund. 338 deputies voted in favor, according to the Interfax-Ukraine agency. 226 votes were required for the law to pass. With this fund, the U.S. obtains access to Ukrainian mineral resources, while Ukraine maintains ownership of those resources. Ukrainian Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko claims that the USA is prepared to invest in Ukraine's economy and mineral resources.

23:27 Trump calls for 30-day ceasefire
US President Trump demands a 30-day unconditional ceasefire from Russia and Ukraine. Both countries would be responsible for its observance, Trump writes on his site Truth Social. "If the ceasefire is not observed, the USA and its partners will impose further sanctions." Almost simultaneously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky states in his evening video address that he has assured Trump of his country's immediate readiness for such a ceasefire. The U.S. had suggested a 30-day ceasefire back in March.

Incorporating insights from the enrichment data, the ceasefire declared by Russia has faced numerous breaches and tensions, making it difficult to achieve a sustainable peace. The U.S. and Ukraine have repeatedly advocated for longer-term truces, with the U.S. often putting forth a 30-day ceasefire proposal. However, Russia's reluctance to compromise has put a damper on peace talks. The conflict remains a point of relevance in international geopolitics, with several influential nations offering their help as mediators if the U.S. were to step back from its role.
