Russia proposes ceasefire as symbolic gesture, Ukraine skeptical
Russia has proposed a short-term ceasefire linked to its Victory Day on May 9, which Ukraine's Foreign Minister dismissed as a symbolic move aimed at influencing U.S. opinion.

Ongoing military activity and the absence of firm terms from Russia suggest that any de-escalation remains tentative and subject to broader diplomatic developments.
