Russian drone attack wounds 47 in Ukraine’s second city of Kharkiv

Zelenskyy said that Moscow’s announcement of a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire next week in Ukraine to mark Victory Day in World War II is merely an attempt to create a “soft atmosphere” ahead of Russia’s annual celebrations. In response to Zelenskyy's comments, which were made public on Saturday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that he had “unequivocally threatened the world leaders who are planning to arrive in Moscow on May 9.” In response to a question about Britain's potential role in peace negotiations, Peskov said that the U.K. could not take on a mediating role.
