Kremlin Rejects 30-Day Ceasefire Unless West Halts Arms Supplies to Ukraine – Peskov
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that President Vladimir Putin is ruling out a 30-day ceasefire unless Western countries stop supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Peskov claimed that Putin is “doing everything possible to resolve the issue peacefully and diplomatically,” but asserted that in the absence of such avenues, Moscow is “forced to continue the military operation.”
At Moscow's "Victory Day" parade on May 9, Russia proudly displayed combat drones used in its war against Ukraine, including models seen targeting civilians. Just a few nights earlier, one of these drones flew into a civilian apartment building. It destroyed a children’s room, injuring kids.

UN: April 2025 Sees Highest Civilian Casualties in Ukraine Since September 2024
April 2025 marked the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since September 2024, according to the latest monthly report by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU).
The report records at least 209 civilians killed and 1,146 injured in April as a result of intensified Russian attacks. HRMMU Head Danielle Bell attributed the sharp rise in casualties to Russia’s widespread use of ballistic missiles targeting major cities.
The UN noted that this pattern of urban attacks continued into May, with new missile and cluster munition strikes reported in Kharkiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv, again resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.
The report highlights the particularly high toll on children: at least 19 were killed and 78 injured in April alone—the highest monthly figure for child casualties since June 2022. Many of these attacks occurred at times and in places where families were gathered outdoors.
Additionally, 23% of all April casualties were attributed to short-range drone strikes near frontline areas. One of the deadliest incidents occurred on April 23 in Marhanets, Dnipropetrovsk region, where a drone strike on a bus carrying mining plant workers killed at least nine people—eight of them women—and injured 58 others.
Between January and April 2025, 664 civilians were killed and 3,425 injured in Russian attacks—a 59% increase compared to the same period in 2024, the report concluded.
