Ukraine launched dozens of drones at Moscow on May 8, 2026, according to Moscow's mayor and confirmed by Kyiv Independent and Al Jazeera. The attack occurred one day before Russia's Victory Day parade, which Russia responded to by scaling back the celebration — canceling heavy military hardware displays for the first time in nearly two decades. The broader context: Trump announced a three-day ceasefire between the countries for May 9-11 to cover the Victory Day observance, though both sides accused each other of violations during the holiday period.
