Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed outrage over Russia's continued missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, branding it as 'utter cynicism' while simultaneously calling for a ceasefire to allow Russia to conduct its Victory Parade on May 9. In a recent statement, Zelenskyy highlighted that the overnight attacks primarily targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to four fatalities and multiple injuries. He criticized the notion of a ceasefire merely for propaganda purposes, suggesting instead that a ceasefire should begin at midnight on May 8. Zelenskyy emphasized that Russia could halt its aggression at any moment, which would pave the way for peace. However, there are no indications that Russia will agree to the proposed ceasefire. Additionally, attention is drawn to an upcoming meeting of EU leaders in Yerevan, Armenia, amid escalating tensions in Europe, including a vote of no confidence in Romania’s Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.
