A repeat of last year's three-day ceasefire.
Quote:
President Trump has announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a three-day ceasefire that will cover Victory Day celebrations in Moscow on May 9.
The American-brokered truce was agreed after Russia threatened a large attack on Kyiv if Ukraine fired long-range weapons at its annual parade on Red Square.
The ceasefire will last from May 9 to May 11 and will include a large prisoner swap...
The Kremlin, spooked by a recent Ukrainian drone attack that evaded Russian air defences and struck a high-rise residential building in central Moscow, demanded a ceasefire from May 8 to May 9.
Ukraine responded by calling for a ceasefire beginning on May 6, which Russia ignored.
Following Trump’s intervention, President Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine had agreed to the three-day ceasefire and thanked the US president for negotiating the deal.
