Trump announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine
US President Donald Trump is confident that the celebration of Russian "Victory Day" is also important for Ukraine.
"I am pleased to announce that a three-day ceasefire (May 9, 10, and 11) will be declared in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The celebration in Russia is timed to Victory Day, but it is equally important for Ukraine, as it was also a significant part and an important factor in World War II.
This ceasefire will include the suspension of all kinetic activity, as well as a "1000 for 1000" prisoner exchange between both countries. This request was made by me personally, and I am very grateful to President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for agreeing to it.
I hope this is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and difficult war. Negotiations to end this large-scale conflict, the biggest since World War II, are ongoing, and we are getting closer to it every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social.
