Russia’s Victory Day ceasefire has descended into fresh accusations and battlefield tension after Moscow claimed Ukraine violated Donald Trump’s 3-day truce nearly 9,000 times. Russia’s Defense Ministry alleged Kyiv launched over 7,100 drone strikes and more than 1,100 artillery attacks despite the pause ordered from May 9 to 11. The Kremlin said Russian forces observed the ceasefire before retaliating “in kind” against Ukrainian positions. The dramatic claims came as Vladimir Putin addressed crowds at Red Square and warned that victory “has always been ours.” The latest escalation now raises doubts over Trump’s fragile peace push.
