In a significant escalation, Ukraine launched over 100 drones targeting various regions in Russia, prompting the temporary closure of Moscow's major airports. This drone assault coincides with a proposed unilateral three-day ceasefire by Russian President Putin, to begin on May 8, coinciding with Victory Day commemorations. Amidst this tension, significant international attendance is expected in Moscow for the celebrations. Concurrently, Russian forces retaliated with drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, causing injuries and damage.
