Russian forces conducted a series of drone strikes against Ukraine on the night of April 29 to 30.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on April 30 that Russian forces launched 375 strike drones, including over 190 Shahed drones, against Ukraine since the start of the week (April 27).[104]
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 108 strike and decoy drones from the direction of Kursk City; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai; and occupied Cape Chauda, Crimea. [102] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that the Russian strikes primarily targeted Dnipro and Kharkiv cities. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed 50 Shahed and other drones over eastern, northern, southern, and central Ukraine; that 22 Russian decoy drones were "lost," likely due to Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) interference; and that two Russian drones remained in Ukrainian air space as of 1130 local time. Ukrainian officials reported that Russian drones struck Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.[103]
The fund will be based on a 50/50 partnership, ensuring full Ukrainian control over resources. The agreement avoids any debt obligations, protects national ownership, and aligns with Ukraine’s EU integration goals. The fund will focus on new investments in critical materials, oil, and gas, and support technological innovation. It also includes tax guarantees and strategic cooperation with the US, boosting Ukraine’s economic recovery and ensuring long-term collaboration.
Ukraine
International Workers' Day is a public holiday in Ukraine, inherited from the Soviet era. The 1st May as a day of workers' solidarity in Kyiv began as early as 1894.[174] Until 2018, 2 May was also a public holiday (as in the Soviet era), instead in 2017 Western Christianity's Christmas celebrated 25 December became a new Ukrainian public holiday.[175][176] The 1 May International Workers' Day remained a Ukrainian public holiday, although it was renamed (also in 2017) from "Day of International Solidarity of Workers" to "Labour Day".[176]
In 2015, the Communist Party's Labor Day rallies were banned in Kyiv and Kharkiv.[177]
Late May 2015 laws that ban communist symbols came into effect in Ukraine, thus banning communist symbols, singing the Soviet national hymn or the Internationale.[178]
According to Interior Minister Arsen Avakov during the 2016 International Workers' Day rallies in some major cities the number of police officers far outnumbered the number of rally participants.[179] With in Dnipro 193 policemen protecting 25 rally participants.[179]
