Russia and Ukraine declare separate truces
Russia, which declared a May 8-9 ceasefire with Ukraine, marks World War II Victory Day each year with a massive military parade through Red Square. The Russian defense ministry warned Kyiv that it would launch a 'massive missile strike' on the city center if it disrupted its celebrations. Ukraine declared a truce of its own between May 5-6.
