Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of breaking proposed ceasefires ahead of Victory Day parade in Moscow – Europe live

Ukraine suggested an indefinite ceasefire this week but it was repeatedly violated by Russia

AFP noted that Kyiv said Moscow ignored a Ukrainian call to halt fighting earlier this week that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy cast as a test of whether the Kremlin was serious about providing a brief respite in the four-year war.

Russia has threatened a massive strike on the heart of Kyiv if Ukraine disrupts the Victory Day parade on Saturday, repeatedly urging foreign diplomats to evacuate the Ukrainian capital ahead of time.
