Russian President Putin suddenly announced a ceasefire by Russian troops on the Ukrainian battlefield for three days from midnight on May 8 to midnight on May 11.
This is the second time he has proposed a ceasefire within a month, the last being a 30-hour Easter ceasefire on April 19, which was criticized by Ukrainian President Zelensky as a 'fake ceasefire.' This ceasefire coincides with Russia commemorating the Great Patriotic War, marking its 80th anniversary. Putin hopes to showcase a posture of peace through this move while responding to former U.S. President Trump's doubts—Trump had previously publicly questioned Putin's ceasefire motives, believing that Russia may just be trying to placate the international community.
Key Information: 1. Ceasefire Time: From May 8, 00:00 to May 11, 00:00, covering the Russian 'Victory Day' celebrations on May 9.
