On April 28, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a planned three-day ceasefire starting May 8, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. North Korea confirmed its military involvement by sending troops to assist Russia. The ceasefire reflects tensions in ongoing negotiations for peace, with both US Secretary of State Marco Rubio advocating for an agreement and President Donald Trump suggesting Ukraine may concede Crimea. Despite Russia's claims of regained control in Kursk, Ukrainian forces continue to resist, indicating a complicated and fluid conflict situation.
Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example. In the event of violations of the truce by the Ukrainian side, the Russian armed forces will give an adequate and appropriate response.
North Korea confirmed for the first time that it has sent troops to fight for Russia in the war with Ukraine, highlighting the increasing military cooperation between the two nations.
