Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, scheduled from May 8 to May 10.
This move coincides with Moscow’s commemorations of World War II Victory Day. The Kremlin has urged Ukraine to follow its lead but issued a stern warning of an “adequate and effective response” in case of any violations by Ukrainian forces.
The ceasefire, declared on humanitarian grounds, highlights ongoing international efforts to mediate a resolution in the protracted conflict. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has scaled up his diplomatic initiatives, aiming to broker a peace deal between the two nations.
Observers are closely monitoring the situation to assess whether this temporary truce could pave the way for sustained peace discussions or merely serves as a symbolic gesture during the Victory Day celebrations.
