Tit-for-Tat strikes: Zelenskyy warns of retaliation | Ukraine Brief

With less than a day before Russia’s May 9 celebrations, Russian strikes across Ukraine continued despite a Kremlin-announced unilateral ceasefire. In response, Ukraine carried out strikes on Russian energy and industrial infrastructure, including oil refineries in Yaroslavl and Perm, and drone attacks that disrupted facilities in Rostov-on-Don and temporarily affected regional air traffic operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that further Russian attacks would be met with proportional retaliation, signaling escalating tit-for-tat strikes. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continued with Ukrainian and U.S. officials discussing negotiations, while Washington signaled skepticism about further talks without concrete progress as Russian demands for major territorial concessions remain unchanged.
