Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a three-day ceasefire next month in the country’s war against Ukraine, as President Trump signals a growing impatience with the Russian leader’s reluctance to agree to a deal to end the three-year war.
The Kremlin announced Monday that Putin ordered the temporary ceasefire from May 8-11 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
“During this period, all military actions are suspended,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, citing “humanitarian reasons.”
Russia encouraged Ukraine similarly to agree to a ceasefire.
“Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example,” the statement continued. “In the event of ceasefire violations by the Ukrainian side, the Russian Armed Forces will give an adequate and effective response.”
