KYIV: Russia and Ukraine both reported attacks on their forces on the first day of a 72-hour ceasefire called by Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Ukraine鈥檚 parliament unanimously approved a landmark minerals deal with the US.
The ratification is a key step in setting the deal in motion. It would allow Washington access to Ukraine鈥檚 largely untapped minerals, deepen strategic ties and create a joint investment fund with the US for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Parliament approved the agreement with 338 members voting in favor out of the required 226 votes, Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak wrote on his Telegram account. No lawmaker voted against it or abstained.
鈥淭his document is not merely a legal construct, it is the foundation of a new model of interaction with a key strategic partner,鈥� Ukrainian Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko wrote on X.

Russian bombs meanwhile struck northeast Ukraine in the opening hours of Moscow鈥檚 unilateral ceasefire, killing at least one civilian, Ukrainian officials said. Artillery assaults took place across the 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, although with less intensity than in the previous 24 hours, officials said.
The ceasefire coincides with Russia鈥檚 biggest secular holiday, the 80th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany. Kyiv has pressed for a longer-term ceasefire.
Putin on Thursday welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping in the Kremlin. Xi, who Putin earlier described as 鈥渙ur main guest鈥� at Friday鈥檚 Victory Day festivities, arrived in Russia on Wednesday for a four-day visit.
Both sides list attacks since the Moscow-declared truce
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Russia of violating its own ceasefire 734 times between midnight and midday Thursday. He called the ceasefire a 鈥渇arce鈥� on the social media platform X.
He said Russia carried out 63 assault operations along the front line, 23 of which were still ongoing as of midday. Ukraine 鈥渞esponds appropriately鈥� and is actively sharing information about the attacks with the U.S, the European Union and others. 鈥淲e will not let Putin fool anyone when he does not even keep his own word,鈥� Sybiha said.
Russian attacks also took place near Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region on Thursday morning, a press officer of Ukraine鈥檚 24th Mechanized Brigade, Oleh Petrasiuk, told The Associated Press via phone.
One person died and two were wounded when Russian forces dropped guided air bombs on residential areas near the border in the northeast Sumy region, the regional prosecutor鈥檚 office said.
Large-scale missile and drone attacks, which have been a near-daily occurrence in Ukraine in recent weeks, were not recorded since 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Ukraine鈥檚 air force said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously cast doubt on the ceasefire, calling it 鈥渕anipulation鈥� as US-led peace efforts stalled. 鈥淔or some reason, everyone is supposed to wait until May 8 before ceasing fire 鈥� just to provide Putin with silence for his parade,鈥� Zelensky said.
In March, the United States proposed a 30-day truce in the war, which Ukraine accepted, but the Kremlin has held out for ceasefire terms more to its liking.
Russia鈥檚 Defense Ministry meanwhile accused Ukrainian forces of attacking its positions and said its forces would continue to 鈥渕irror鈥� Ukraine鈥檚 actions during the Kremlin鈥檚 ceasefire.
The regions of Belgorod, Lipetsk, Orenburg, Ryazan and Tambov came under a drone threat alert overnight, but there were no reports of any drones being shot down or intercepted. Russia鈥檚 civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia also briefly imposed restrictions on flights to and from the airport in Nizhny Novgorod.
Putin praises relations with Xi
In welcoming Xi, Putin said that 鈥渢he brotherhood of arms between our peoples, which developed during the harsh war years, is one of the fundamental foundations of modern Russian-Chinese relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation.鈥�
He added that Moscow and Beijing were developing ties 鈥渇or the benefit of the peoples of both countries and not against anyone.鈥�
Xi, in turn, said that 鈥渉istory and reality have fully proved that the continuous development and deepening of China-Russia relations is a necessity for the friendship between the two peoples from generation to generation.鈥� He also called for safeguarding 鈥渋nternational fairness and justice.鈥�
Putin and Xi have met over 40 times and developed strong personal ties that bolstered the countries鈥� 鈥渟trategic partnership鈥� as both face tensions with the West.
China has offered robust diplomatic support to Moscow after its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine and has emerged as a top market for Russian oil and gas, helping fill the Kremlin鈥檚 war coffers. Russia has relied on China as the main source of machinery and electronics to keep its military machine running after Western sanctions curtailed high-tech supplies.
