Putin Announces Three-Day Ceasefire in Ukraine for WWII Victory Day Amidst Ongoing Conflict
In a recent development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a unilateral three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, set to last from May 8 to May 10, coinciding with the upcoming Victory Day celebrations marking the end of World War II. Despite the announcement, Ukraine has voiced concerns, indicating that it seeks a longer truce and expressing skepticism regarding Russia’s genuine intentions, especially following accusations that Russia has violated previous ceasefires. This move comes as former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of Ukraine ceding Crimea, raising further questions about the complexities of peace negotiations and regional tensions.
