Putin’s Victory Day truce has come into effect, spanning from today (8) until midnight May 10 going into 11.
Ukrainian monitoring channels on Telegram have not recorded any Russian drones in the air.
Intel Slava reported:
“Earlier, Zelensky rejected Putin’s proposal for a ceasefire on May 9 and said that Ukraine ‘cannot guarantee the safety of foreign leaders’ who came to Moscow for the parade on May 9. On the eve of Victory Day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue massive drone raids on Russian regions – despite this, the leaders of a number of countries were able to arrive in Moscow to attend the parade.”
There have been some reports that Ukraine would ‘unofficially’ join the truce, according to Ukrainian MP Aleksey Goncharenko.
Kiev is ‘officially silent’, but Goncharenko suggests troops have been given instructions to respect the temporary ceasefire.
But it didn’t take long for Russians to accuse Ukraine to have violated the truce no less than 488 times, so far.
According to Moscow sources, Kiev regime attempted twice to break into Russia’s Kursk region, and has attacked Donetsk region and carried out 100s of strikes.
The Russian Ministry of Defense warns that its forces will ‘respond in kind’.
Sputnik reported:
“’Along the entire line of combat contact, Ukrainian units carried out 173 attacks from barrel artillery, tanks and mortars on positions of Russian troops, as well as four using multiple launch rocket systems. In addition, 300 strikes and drops of ammunition from unmanned aerial vehicles were carried out’, the ministry said.”
Watch: Russian Oreshnik hypersonic missile attack.

The one encouraging bit of information about all this is that no attacks on Moscow region have been yet reported on, since the Russians have vowed some heavy retaliation, including using the new hypersonic missile ‘Hazel’ (Oreshnik).
Intel Slava reported:
“Russia may hit key targets in Kiev with an Oreshnik missile if the Ukrainian leadership undertakes provocations against the Russian Federation on Victory Day.
Several specialized resources and media outlets report this at once.”
