Russia Declares 72-Hour Unilateral Ceasefire in Ukraine – What’s Really Behind It?
In a surprising move, Russia has announced a 72-hour unilateral ceasefire in Ukraine, starting from May 8, coinciding with its Victory Day celebrations.
While Moscow claims it's a "humanitarian gesture", Ukraine isn't buying it. President Zelenskyy has slammed the move, calling it a “PR stunt” designed to ensure calm during Russia’s symbolic parade.
Ukrainian officials are demanding a 30-day full ceasefire — not just a temporary pause. Meanwhile, the international community watches closely as diplomatic pressure mounts.
This is not the first time such a gesture has been made — a 30-hour Easter truce earlier this month ended in accusations and renewed shelling. With tensions still high, will this ceasefire lead to real peace or is it just another tactical move?
Your thoughts? Can a 3-day ceasefire mean anything in a war this brutal?
