Zelenskiy says continued Russian strikes show no attempt to cease fire on front

President ​Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said that ‌Russian forces ​continued to strike Ukrainian ‌positions during the night on Friday, which he said showed ‌that Russia has not taken "even ‌a token attempt to cease fire on the front."

Russia's ⁠defence ​ministry ⁠said on Thursday that Moscow ⁠had declared a ceasefire from midnight ​on May 8 until ⁠May 10 for its World War ⁠Two ​commemorations.

Zelenskiy this week had proposed an open-ended ⁠ceasefire starting on May 6, which ⁠he ⁠said Russia has violated.
