Share:
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a proposed three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine scheduled for May 9-11. The temporary truce would include a complete halt to fighting and the exchange of thousands of prisoners of war. Trump made the request directly to both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The proposed ceasefire comes as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues into its third year, with both sides holding significant numbers of prisoners. May 9 is particularly significant as it marks Victory Day in Russia, commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
