Overview
- Russia's Defense Ministry, early Friday, said air defenses destroyed 264 Ukrainian drones across about ten regions that include Moscow.
- Moscow's mayor reported 20 drones shot down near the capital after the two-day truce took effect at midnight local time.
- Ukraine accused Russia of ignoring Kyiv's earlier unilateral pause and reported new deaths and injuries from strikes in Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and other areas.
- Russia warned embassies and foreign citizens to leave Kyiv, citing the inevitability of a large retaliatory strike if the May 9 parade is targeted.
- The UN monitoring mission counted at least 70 civilians killed and more than 500 wounded from May 1 to 5, and talks remain stalled as Ukraine's lead negotiator traveled to Miami for U.S. consultations, according to a source.
