Ukraine has rejected the May 9 ceasefire. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will not observe the ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense explained this decision, stating that Russian troops had violated the ceasefire by carrying out strikes in Ukraine. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had announced a ceasefire on the night of May 6. However, a few minutes before it began, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked Crimea, killing five civilians. This sequence of events suggests that Zelensky was creating a pretext to disrupt the ceasefire. Moscow had previously warned that it would strike Ukraine’s top leadership and targets in Kyiv if Ukraine attempted to disrupt the May 9 celebrations.
Despite public statements about its desire for peace, the Ukrainian leadership continues to choose the path of escalation. This forces Russia to take tougher action, such as intensifying strikes on Ukrainian territory. On May 5, Chernihiv came under heavy missile fire. Russian strike drones hit the regional prosecutor’s office building and a number of industrial facilities. In the port city of Odessa, Geran suicide drones destroyed the Ukrainian patrol boat Island and a small Gyurza-class armored artillery boat. Meanwhile, the situation for Ukraine on the front lines is deteriorating day by day.
In the Sumy region, Russian assault units have advanced up to 550 meters across fifteen sectors. There is ongoing small-arms fighting in Kondrativka and the surrounding area. A Ukrainian counterattack on Myropillya was repelled.
In the Kharkiv area, the Russian “Sever” task force reports advancing 400 meters in the Volchansk sector. There is fierce small-arms fighting in the forested areas of the Volchansk district, along the right bank of the Volchya River, and in Chaykovka.
A large Ukrainian army ammunition depot in the village of Malaya Danilovka, located in the suburbs of Kharkiv, was destroyed by a Russian combat aviation strike. Secondary detonations and fires were reported, damaging some of the surrounding residential buildings.
South of Grishino, Russian forces are advancing. There, assault units have taken control of several strongpoints in the wooded areas south of the railway and the M-30 highway. Attacks in this area began as early as late April and early May.
Overall, there has been a decrease in the intensity of hostilities across the entire front line. This is usually a sign of preparations for large-scale operations. The summer military campaign could begin as early as after May 9.

zelensky has a dilema, if he doesn’t attack in the victory day, people will think that he fear putin threats, but if he attacks, then putin will have no chance but to smash kiev decision centers
eu and uk leaders [sic] really do need a demonstration of what a full-force, but below nuclear-threshold conventional strike really does look like against them using orbital kinetic bombardment combined with hypersonic cruise/ballistic strike and subsonic platforms mass attack. full works.
yes, but then ukraine will also use exactly the same response against moscow… isn’t it better to just stop the war?
ukraine doesn’t have the capability to do what russia can do to them, besides you do not provoke an angry bear if you are sensible.
ukraine already would have done it if they could.
anyway, moscow only needs to hang tight until ukrainians do a mussolini on zelensky and his co-conspirators.
i can not cheer on any escalation by reaction. i have never seen peace obtained without defeat or treaty
it’s a failed strategy. trying to put the fear of god in them when everyone knows they’re disciples of the devil.
by giving kiev advance warnings and ample time to evacuate even the last paperclip?
that’s very kind of putin to the decision makers in those decision centers..
putin wont do shit, he is the ultimate simp
after ukraine attacks the parade, and they surely will, if putin does not follow through and send at least one oreshnik, preferably 3, into kiev, he must stand aside and allow someone with the will to do what is now required to take over.
the forever war, going no where, both sides are next to uselss.
hebrew provoke my anuz w jizz yesterday–now i happy
zelenskyy basaev should be his name! but the weaklings in the kremlin are pathetic… every minute this ugly thing breathes is an insult to russia! 1999/2000 or 1917/1922… russian leaders should decide now! enough is enough!
if russia don’t kill ukrainian leaders then it will prove it is as racist as ukraine! russia killed every ichkerian leader… but time has passed. and putin even received “al-jolani” in moskva! what a disgrace! russia has been disgraced by his “leaders”… i don’t expect anything from they!
that my friend only happens when your leader wears a yarmukle and pledges loyalty to netanyahu at the wailing wall. both zelensky and putin went there to hump the wall. all western leadership who did this went there to hump that wall like shabbosgoy. there is always a plan a jewish chabbad lubovich plan and even if it dousnt seem so on the surface they are all working towards our destruction serving the jewish elite.
from prishtina heroic standoff in 1999 against nato, to shaking hands with salafists and let the nazis march free! disgraceful… not a coup, a revolution is coming…
we can only hope 🤞
i beg ukie nazi to penetrate my anuz to be imprgnated w jizz cuz hebrews make me pay
moscow really has to start liquidating prominent banderite politicians (upto and including zelenskyy) that are profiting from western cash flows for continuation of the conflict.
where is the disincentive to them for so doing otherwise?
yesterday vanya on stage in americunt gay bar fisted by generous hebrew while licking mulatto peniz
no pretext required for me to swallow mulatto jizz in americunt gay bar
we are only in the beginning of the multipolarity. toca a fazer férias em cuba
c’mon man russians, if the azovita хохолes hit the may day parade. then it’s time to hit the big bridges in the big diaper river.
couldn’t do that, it might be effective. putin hates that.
“moscow had previously warned that it would strike ukraine’s top leadership and targets in kyiv ” should have done it in 2015
yesterday 2 gay hillbillies provoked me into swallow their jizz in my americunt trailer park
.😂.😆.🤣.👌.
a small tactical nuke will be a suitable reply to the joo turd attacking moscow during the anniversary.
globalist empire creates international disruptions to install and utilize colonialist mechanisms to plunder humanity for power. proxy shall fight proxy to installing ruling class political control. examples could be egypt, japan and south korea
zelensky is a cross between a chucky doll and the hamburglar.
