Ukraine updates: Russian drones target Kyiv before ceasefire DW 05/07/2025
Briefly

On May 7, Russian air strikes on Kyiv resulted in two deaths and eight injuries, undermining a ceasefire set by President Vladimir Putin for May 8-10. This military action coincides with preparations for Russia's large-scale parade on May 9, which commemorates its World War II victory over Nazi Germany. In addition, former US President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump, his predecessor, for allegedly enabling Russia by pushing Ukraine to relinquish territory, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding international responses to Russia's aggression.
In a tragic escalation of violence, two fatalities and eight injuries were reported following a Russian air strike on Kyiv, indicating a disregard for the upcoming ceasefire.
The timing of the air attacks just before the announced ceasefire by President Putin raises questions about Russia's commitment to peace and its intentions for the May 9 celebrations.
