Kyiv — Russia and Ukraine traded a barrage of drone strikes overnight yesterday, in attacks that killed two in Kyiv and forced Moscow to shut major airports hours before a swathe of foreign leaders was to arrive.

The Kremlin has announced a unilateral three-day truce — set to start at 9pm yesterday — to coincide with its grand 9 May military parade on Red Square, marking 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
