Kyiv said it would begin a truce on 6 May and then "act symmetrically" after Moscow declared a pause for its Victory Day parade.

A Russian drone hit a high-rise residential building in Ukraine's second-largest city, authorities said, injuring at least five people and straining a three-day cease-fire timed for Victory Day celebrations.

Ukraine's air force has said that Russia attacked the country with three ballistic missiles and more than 100 drones overnight.

By Dan Peleschuk and Anna Pruchnicka KYIV, May 6 (Reuters) - Ukraine accused Russia of flouting a Kyiv-proposed ceasefire on Wednesday by carrying out dozens of battlefield assaults, air strikes and drone attacks in what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as Moscow's "obvious spurning" of peace.

Russian air defenses shot down 347 Ukrainian drones overnight, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Thursday, in what appeared to be a major attack after Moscow spurned Kyiv’s ceasefire earlier in the week and tension mounted over safety at Russia’s upcoming Victory Day celebrations .

Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing a wave of anxiety in Moscow about the war in Ukraine, which has killed hundreds of thousands.

Kyiv rejected Russia's Victory Day truce after Moscow violated Ukraine's ceasefire 1,820 times and Russian attacks killed 26 civilians nationwide.
