On May 8, a three-day ceasefire by Russia marking the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat began, though Ukraine proposed a 30-day cessation instead. Despite the ceasefire, Russian airstrikes occurred in the Sumy region, while Ukrainian forces reported the downing of drones near Moscow. In diplomatic discussions, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reiterated his 30-day ceasefire offer, and Ukraine’s Central Bank is considering moving away from the US dollar toward the euro due to potential EU accession and global trade fragmentation concerns.
