Russian air attacks kill five at Ukraine's Naftogaz gas facilities
Russian air attacks killed at least five people in the Poltava and Kharkiv regions at Ukrainian state-run gas facilities. According to Serhiy Koretskyi, the CEO of Ukraine's state energy company Naftogaz, "Three employees and two rescue workers were killed and 37 people were wounded in the overnight missile and drone barrage."
Koretskyi also said, "We have sustained significant damage and production losses. This was a combined strike involving UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and ballistic missiles," and that the attack cut gas supply to nearly 3,500 customers. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian authorities had shown "utter cynicism" by announcing a ceasefire and then launching missile and drone attacks.
Zelenskyy stated, "Russia could cease fire at any moment, and this would stop the war and our responses. Peace is needed, and real steps are needed to achieve it. Ukraine will act in kind." Vladimir Putin declared a two-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine on May 8 and 9 to mark Russia's World War II victory, and Zelenskyy countered with his proposed pause in fighting starting on the night of May 5.
