Kiev left Russian Victory Day ceasefire proposal unanswered - Putin

MOSCOW, 11 May. The Kiev regime did not respond to Russia's Victory Day ceasefire initiative and almost immediately launched large-scale attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters in the Kremlin.

"The Kiev government left our ceasefire proposal unanswered," he said. "Moreover, shortly after we announced our proposal on 5 May, the Kiev government launched large-scale attacks overnight on 7 May."

He said the May 7 attack involved 524 drones and a number of Western-made missiles.

"At the same time, 45 drones were used in the Black Sea," Putin said, adding that the attacks continued on May 8, 9 and 10.
