World brief

Russia-Ukraine ceasefire prospects remain uncertainReuters reports the Kremlin says peace is still a long way off, while Victory Day events in Moscow are scaled back under tight security; the short ceasefire window may not translate into a durable pause.
Spain prepares for hantavirus cruise-ship responseAP and BBC report Spanish authorities are preparing evacuations as the MV Hondius heads toward Tenerife after confirmed hantavirus cases; the story is now a multi-country public-health tracing effort.
