A 72-hour ceasefire called by Russian President Vladimir Putin has been met with skepticism by Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Russia of violating the ceasefire 734 times, calling it a "farce." Despite this, Ukraine's parliament unanimously approved a landmark minerals deal with the U.S., which will allow Washington access to Ukraine's minerals and deepen strategic ties. Russian attacks continued on the first day of the ceasefire, with at least one civilian killed in northeast Ukraine, while President Putin welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping in the Kremlin, marking a significant diplomatic development in the conflict. This event took place on 05/09/2025 at the following location: Sumy, Ukraine.
