President Zelenskiy says continued Russian strikes show no attempt to cease fire on front
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russian forces continued overnight strikes on Ukrainian positions, accusing Moscow of failing to make any genuine effort toward a ceasefire. Russia, meanwhile, announced a temporary ceasefire for World War Two commemorations, but Kyiv says earlier truce proposals have already been violated.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that Russian forces continued to strike Ukrainian positions during the night on Friday, which he said showed that Russia has not taken "even a token attempt to cease fire on the front."
Russia's defence ministry said on Thursday that Moscow had declared a ceasefire from midnight on May 8 until May 10 for its World War Two commemorations.
Zelenskiy this week had proposed an open-ended ceasefire starting on May 6, which he said Russia has violated.
