Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned Russia's "cynicism" for continuing to launch deadly attacks despite seeking a pause in hostilities.
Russia, which is preparing to hold celebrations to mark victory in World War Two this weekend, said it would hold a ceasefire on 8 and 9 May and threatened a "massive missile strike" on central Kyiv if Ukraine violated the truce.
But Kyiv said it would observe an open-ended ceasefire from midnight on 6 May, and that Ukraine would act "symmetrically" from that point on.
As the warring sides were announcing the moves, five people were killed and dozens injured in combined missile and drone strikes across Ukraine overnight.
"It's utter cynicism to ask for silence to hold propaganda celebrations and to launch such missile-drone attacks every day beforehand," Zelensky said.
