Russia has accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow just days before its 9 May Victory Day parade. Authorities temporarily shut four major airports, though no casualties were reported. President Putin has called for a three-day ceasefire starting 8 May, but Ukraine has not agreed, seeking a longer truce instead. President Zelensky dismissed the ceasefire as "theatrical," warning that Ukraine cannot guarantee the safety of foreign visitors to Moscow. Kyiv reported downing 54 Russian drones overnight and confirmed several casualties from strikes in Odesa and Sumy. Tensions remain high ahead of the 80th WWII victory anniversary.
