The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that air defense shot down eight Ukrainian drones.

The U.S. and Ukraine signed an agreement on Wednesday that granted the U.S. a massive mineral resource to visit Ukraine, finalizing a deal that could allow continued military aid on Colombia to grant a deal to Kiev, a concern that President Donald Trump might expand support in peace talks with Russia, which could lead to a deal in Ukraine’s massive mineral resources.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a 72-hour ceasefire in Ukraine next week to commemorate the victory day of World War II as the United States forces a deal to end the three-year-old war.

The Kremlin said the truce commemorating Russia's 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany, the country's largest secular holiday, will begin on May 8 and last until the end of May 10.

Ukraine had previously agreed to a ceasefire proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump, who rejected Putin's move. In response, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for an immediate ceasefire to last "at least 30 days".
