Russian-declared 72-hour truce, which Ukraine said Moscow repeatedly violated, ends

Russia’s 72-hour ceasefire in Ukraine, which Kyiv said Moscow violated hundreds of times, has ended.

President Vladimir Putin announced the ceasefire to coincide with Moscow’s grand May 9 military parade marking the end of World War II. Ukraine, which is calling for a full 30-day ceasefire, dismissed it as theatrics and never said if it would follow it.
