Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of violating a three-day ceasefire as Russia celebrated Victory Day with a military parade. President Putin, joined by Chinese President Xi, emphasized Russia’s role as a defender against “Nazism” while Ukraine dismissed this narrative and criticized the parade as a “cynical” display. Amid the ongoing conflict, Ukraine’s allies called for a special tribunal to prosecute Russian officials for aggression, coinciding with discussions on a longer ceasefire proposal.
