Separately, Ukrainian officials responded by questioning the intent and timing of Moscow’s announcement. In a statement, they said there had been “no official appeal to Ukraine regarding the modality of a cessation of hostilities” beyond claims circulating on Russian social media. They added that “human life is far more valuable than any anniversary ‘celebration’,” and announced their own position on a ceasefire framework beginning earlier, from 00:00 on the night of May 5–6, arguing that “it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect” within that timeframe.
