Last update: 7 hours agoCeasefire in the spotlight: A Ukrainian drone barrage hit multiple Russian regions on May 8, just hours before Donald Trump announced a three-day Russia-Ukraine ceasefire and a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange. Truce friction: Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed it intercepted and destroyed 71 drones during the attack window and later accused Ukraine of violating the truce 1,365 times, while Ukraine framed the exchange as the priority over striking Moscow. Diplomacy under pressure: Russia also warned foreign missions to evacuate staff from Kyiv ahead of May 9 Victory Day, signaling how quickly talks can turn back into escalation. Ukraine’s wider stakes: In parallel, Athens is investigating a Ukrainian-made explosive sea drone found near Lefkada—an incident that could ripple into Mediterranean security and tourism. Ukraine politics: Anti-corruption prosecutors pressed the case against former presidential chief-of-staff Andriy Yermak over alleged money laundering, as court hearings weigh bail and detention risks.
