Trump announces three-day ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war running Saturday through Monday, including a mutual exchange of 1,000 prisoners by each nation.
- Victory Day celebrations in Russia, marking the 81st anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, prompted the truce timing. Trump said he appreciates Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreeing to his request.
- Zelenskyy had previously announced a ceasefire for May 5-6, while Russia suggested one for May 8-9, creating conflicting timelines before the current three-day pause. Trump called it the "beginning of the end" of the four-year-old conflict.
- Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told journalists Thursday that Russia strengthened its focus on "retaliatory measures" if Ukraine disrupts the ceasefire. The Defense Ministry warned civilians in Kyiv of "the need to leave the city promptly."
