- Zelenskyy reported that Russian forces carried out 1,820 attacks in one day and said Ukraine would decide next steps, including imposing its own ceasefire starting May 6, acting reciprocally if Russia violated it.

- Russia declared a unilateral ceasefire for May 8–9 without coordinating with Kyiv and threatened strikes if commemorations were disrupted; Zelenskyy called this ceasefire proposal manipulative and not serious, aimed at protecting the parade rather than promoting peace.
