Kyiv and Moscow traded accusations of disregarding Putin's truce declarations. - Kyiv and Moscow accuse each other of breaching the Putin-enforced truce.
Get ready for a wild ride as Russia and Ukraine keep the finger-pointing game alive! Amidst Kremlin chief Vlad the Impaler (yes, I went there), I mean, Vladimir Putin's declaration of a three-day truce, both nations are leveling accusations of breaches. According to the General Staff in Kyiv, about 200 skirmishes on the battlefield took place in the last 24 hours. Woah, that's a battle royale!
Ukraine claims to have diplomatically smacked down 71 Russian advances near the mining town of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, based on the General Staff's morning situation report. As if that weren't enough, they have the audacity to complain about ongoing shelling of frontline cities using rockets and more than 30 guided aerial bombs.

Good ol' Vyacheslav the Wise (yes, my creativity knows no bounds), I mean, Vyacheslav Gladkov. The video revealed some scrap metal on the ground, possibly drone remnants. Lucky for everyone, there were no reports of injuries or fatalities.
Putin announced a three-day ceasefire from May 8 to May 11, citing humanitarian reasons.

Ukraine dismissed the ceasefire as a publicity stunt and proposed an extension to 30 days. Ironic, huh? They're asking for more peace...
