For the first time we see a patrol boat, Russian Project 21980 Grachonok, equipped with anti drone structures. Interestingly, less than two weeks ago, Ukrainian naval forces attacked one of the Grachonok-class boats with naval kamikaze drones in the Kerch strait, resulting in the death of the crew

Many people ask if I’m finally able to breathe and rest during the "ceasefire." To be clear: for Russia, this "ceasefire" only means refraining from bombing Kyiv or launching large-scale air attacks. They continue to bomb regions near the frontline, including Kharkiv.

We’ve had several air raid alerts already. They have bombed multiple villages, destroying homes and cars, and even struck a high-rise apartment building in Kharkiv yesterday. So no, we are not "enjoying" a ceasefire, and we are certainly not resting.

ZELENSKYY: A prisoner exchange of 1,000 for 1,000 is being prepared and must be carried out. Ukraine handed over our list of 1,000 prisoners to Russia. America acted as mediator and guarantor. We expect America to play an active role in ensuring these agreements are implemented.

Putin is once again going to give Ukraine a chance to surrender to him OR ELSE he will be forced to start taking seriously his 3 day special military operation that is now on year 5 with 1.3 million Russian casualties.

My name is Kate, i'm posting from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I share daily updates on russia’s invasion of my country and glimpses of civilian life in one of the most bombed cities on earth. This account is fully independent. If you like what I do, you can tip here: buymeacoffee.com/kateinkharkiv

It’s exhausting to see people sharing Putin’s quotes as if he ever said a word of truth. Moreover, most of these posts are stripped of context. ​When he said about being ready to meet Zelenskyy, he added to "sign documents," he isn't looking for a dialogue; he’s demanding a capitulation, as always.

He’s been waiting for it from day one, and he won't get it. Stop falling for the propaganda.

🇫🇮 FM Elina Valtonen: Ukraine should be integrated into NATO as quickly as possible. It's in our own interest. Ukraine has one of the strongest armies, a robust defense industry, and advanced modern technologies. Ukraine now holds the strongest cards, even in the American sense.

Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta: Biden should have been much tougher in providing the weapons that Ukraine needed. Frankly, we should have given them much more sophisticated weaponry that they were asking for in order to be able to go after Russia.

In Russian Vladikavkaz, maternity hospital staff dressed newborns in military uniforms. What kind of grotesque moral void do you have to live in to do that? 🤦‍♀️

The “Ukraine has no cards” line is aging badly. ㅤ Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, says the narrative has flipped: Ukraine has drone technology, battlefield knowledge, and value others now need. ㅤ Ukraine is becoming a security asset, not a burden.

EPIC FAILURE: Ukraine Rains on Putin’s Victory Day Parade youtube.com/watch?v=_Mnk...

Russian woman: "This is my son. He's missing in action." Russian reporter: "So you have a kind of double holiday today. Well, I congratulate you on the holiday, on Victory Day. Have a good day." 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

In Russian Chita on Victory Day parade, the widows and mothers of soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine were marched across the square. They don’t understand the irony. They fail to realize they have forever tainted the victory over nazism with their own nazism. With killing children,

bombing hospitals, and burying families under the rubble. They are lost to their own propaganda.

TAYLOR: Ukraine made it clear in Iran war that it has real value to bring to United States and allies. Ukrainians know how to defend against drones, and providing knowledge and expertise. Ukraine's making it very clear which side it’s on, and United States should recognize that.

Last night's Ukrainian attacks on Russia clearly pushed the Kremlin's goblin to buy his and his parade's safety with 1,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war. ​It is a great deal for Ukraine, considering bombing the parade itself is extremely challenging and has no military benefits, but

bringing our people home is everything.

Zelenskyy confirms a three-day ceasefire and a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoners of war exchange between Ukraine and russia.

HARRIS: You know who's big winner in Iran war? Our adversary, Russia. First, because of oil issue. Trump lifted sanctions on Russia. They’re making money from selling oil. Second, we’re sending artillery, ammunition, air defense systems that otherwise would be going to Ukraine.

​Rubio declares that U.S. efforts to negotiate between Russia and Ukraine "has not led to a fruitful outcome for a variety of reasons" and have now "stagnated." ​Really? Maybe they stagnated because the strategy of pressuring the victim to surrender to an aggressor,

who would almost certainly murder us under occupation, was stillborn from the start. Perhaps, instead, you could try putting pressure on Russia and arming Ukraine to make this war unbearable for the ones actually choosing to wage it every day?

Drones hit Grozny at dawn — Khankala military base (HQ of Russia's 42nd Motor Rifle Division) and a site near the railway station, 120 meters from the Chechen FSB office and within 2 km of Kadyrov's residence, per Russian Telegram channel Astra euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/08/d...

Russia violated the May 6th ceasefire offered by Ukraine so Zelensky says they are under no obligation to respect Russia's May 9th ceasefire declaration so Putin can safely attend a parade. Ukraine struck Russia's Perm refinery again and Russia's 2nd largest refinery is now offline.

Sanctions hit the Yaroslavl oil refinery in russia 🔥

ZELENSKYY: Ukraine has received appeals from some countries close to Russia informing us that their representatives plan to attend events in Moscow in the coming days. A strange desire… We do not recommend it.

Russian "ceasefire" has begun 7 minutes ago. Air raid alert is whaling in Kharkiv. There is a russian drone just outside the city.

Collapse at Moscow airports: passengers have been waiting more than 17 hours for departures at Vnukovo. No assistance is being provided by the authorities or the airlines, people sleep wherever they can. Awkward moment when your own war returns to you 🤷‍♀️

FEDOROV: We had meeting with SAAB today. We believe Gripen jets can change situation in Ukraine’s skies. This is one of the best aircraft in the world, and we're working to acquire them. In few months, there will be good news for Sweden and Ukraine, and bad news for Russians.

What I would like to see happen at russia’s victory day parade tomorrow…

Putin the moron falls into the trap, removing all Russia's air defenses to protect the propaganda parade. youtu.be/Pa8L4lc53B8

Top-level officials are beginning to flee Russia. And that is a good sign. As the economy deteriorates, stealing becomes harder, competition inside the system grows more brutal, and the risk of ending up in prison - or dead - gets closer. When things go badly in Russia, Putin is never blamed⤵️

🤬 Forest fire covering 2,400 hectares burns near Ukrainian border with Russia due to attacks

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Since the beginning of this day, the Russian army has been striking Ukraine in all forms. Significant damage to civilian objects has been recorded in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kherson regions. There have also been strikes on locomotives and infrastructure of Ukrzaliznytsia.

Journalist Caolan Robertson confronted the Russian ambassador at the Venice Biennale: "Your country killed 30 civilians in Ukraine in the last 24 hours. Why are you using art to whitewash your crimes?" @caolanrob.bsky.social,2 thank you for supporting the Ukrainian people!

⚡️Russian attacks kill at least 13, injure 54 across Ukraine over past day. Russian attacks killed 13 people and injured 54 others across Ukraine over the past day, with Sumy city authorities declaring May 7 a day of mourning.

Russian historian Yuri Pivovarov, April 2026: "I know nothing in Russia’s military history more disgraceful or more shameful than the current war. This is a Great Patriotic War of the Ukrainian people against an invader. Unfortunately, the invaders are our [Russian] people."
