Russia turned down Ukraine's indefinite ceasefire proposal and initiated a barrage of 11 ballistic missiles alongside 154 drones, resulting in the deaths of 27 civilians in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Poltava. A double-tap strike claimed the lives of five rescue workers. The ceasefire announced by Russia is limited to Victory Day on May 9. The United States, having pledged $174B in assistance, is closely monitoring the situation as both sides prepare for further actions.
