On Saturday, Russia and Ukraine exchanged accusations of violating a three-day ceasefire, although no major strikes were reported. The Ukrainian military general staff indicated that Russian forces launched 51 attacks. Ukrainian forces in the eastern Kharkiv region confirmed ongoing drone and artillery assaults from Russia, while local authorities in Ukraine reported that Russian drone strikes resulted in two civilian deaths and three injuries in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Conversely, the governor of Russia's Belgorod region reported injuries from Ukrainian drone strikes. Despite the ceasefire declaration, both sides continued to engage in drone attacks, with casualties reported. Russian President Vladimir Putin remarked that he believes the war is winding down, proposing negotiations for new European security arrangements, potentially involving Germany's former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, a controversial figure due to his ties with Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow's Victory Day parade was heavily secured and stripped of its usual displays, showcasing only a video of military assets. Putin noted that Russia had not yet received proposals from Ukraine regarding a prisoner swap linked to the ceasefire.
