Moscow said Kyiv committed more than 1,000 violations; Ukrainian officials reported one death and 15 injuries in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Kharkiv over 24 hours.
Russia said two people were hurt by Ukrainian shelling in occupied Kherson and that its forces responded after attacks on Russian regions and frontline positions.
The ceasefire, announced by Donald Trump for Saturday to Monday around Victory Day, was also tied to a planned prisoner exchange, while Moscow reiterated demands for a Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas.

The Three-Day Truce in Ukraine: Immediate Violations, Civilian Suffering, and the Failure of Ceasefire Enforcement (May 9-11, 2026)
Overview
The U.S.-brokered three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine from May 9 to 11, 2026, was quickly undermined by mutual accusations and ongoing attacks from both sides. Despite the truce, Russia reported Ukrainian drone and artillery strikes against its troops, while Ukraine faced a significant Russian drone attack in Kharkiv that damaged a residential building and injured civilians. These immediate violations highlighted the fragility of the agreement and the deep mistrust between the parties, showing that even during a declared pause, hostilities and civilian suffering continued almost without interruption.
