President Vladimir V. Putin declared a three-day cease-fire in Ukraine set for May 8, emphasizing humanitarian reasons for this decision. This gesture follows a recent social media appeal from President Trump urging Putin to cease bombardment in alignment with U.S.-led truce efforts. Meanwhile, tensions remain high, as Russia ignored a prior 30-day cease-fire agreement backed by Ukraine. A previous one-day truce for Easter collapsed, highlighting ongoing conflict between the two nations despite attempts to de-escalate the situation.
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia announced a planned three-day cease-fire in Ukraine starting May 8, citing humanitarian reasons and goodwill.
The cease-fire comes shortly after President Trump urged Putin to halt attacks on Ukraine, aligning with U.S. efforts to broker peace.
A prior one-day truce to mark Easter failed, as both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of continuing hostilities.
Despite the cease-fire announcement, Ukraine has not yet commented, and Russia previously rejected a 30-day unconditional cease-fire proposed by Ukraine.
