At midnight on Wednesday, the regime of silence declared by Vladimir Zelensky came into force. However, after this, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles, local authorities said. Advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense Sergei Sternenko has already stated that these attacks will negate the Russian side’s announcement of a truce on Victory Day.
Details . In total, on Wednesday night, Russia launched 108 drones and three missiles into Ukraine, the Ukrainian Air Force reported . Of these, the Ukrainian military managed to shoot down 89 UAVs.
- ️ Some of the strikes occurred after the silence regime came into force. According to RBC-Ukraine, the Ukrainian military recorded attacks on the Sumy, Kharkov and Donetsk regions from four in the morning, on the Zaporozhye region - from five in the morning, on the Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk regions - from six in the morning.
- ️ In the Kharkov region, two people were injured as a result of Russian attacks, said the head of the local military administration Oleg Sinegubov. According to the mayor of Kharkov, Igor Terekhov, seven houses in the city were damaged. In the Zaporozhye region, an industrial infrastructure facility was attacked, said the head of the Zaporozhye Regional State Administration, Ivan Fedorov.
- ️ The Russian Ministry of Defense, in turn, reported that 53 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the night over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk regions, the Moscow region, Crimea and over the Black Sea. The military department did not specify whether we are talking about attacks after midnight.
- ️ In Crimea, Dzhankoy was attacked, killing five people, said the Russian head of the peninsula, Sergei Aksenov. The city of Armyansk also came under attack, where, according to Z-channels , the FSB building was hit.
- ️ Russian Foreign Ministry employee Rodion Miroshnik has already stated that the attack on Dzhankoy indicates that Kiev does not comply with the ceasefire. In fact, such conclusions cannot be drawn only on the basis of these air attacks. The strikes on Crimea were carried out before midnight: Aksenov reported deaths in Dzhankoy at 00:10 on May 6, and explosions in Armyansk were reported at 22:30 on May 5.
Context . On Monday evening, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a truce for May 8-9 in honor of Victory Day and threatened Ukraine with a missile strike on the center of Kiev in the event of “attempts by the Kiev regime to implement its criminal plans to disrupt the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory.” Vladimir Zelensky responded on the same day that Ukraine was announcing a regime of silence from 00:00 on the night of May 6. The Ukrainian president added that Kyiv will act “mirror” from now on. It follows from his words that Moscow’s failure to comply with the silence regime could lead to Kiev’s failure to comply with the truce on Victory Day.
