US EditionPutin’s ceasefire demand: Stop US, EU weapons to Ukraine
- President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary three-day halt to hostilities starting May 9, 2025, in coordination with the 80th anniversary celebrations of the end of World War Two held in Moscow.
- Russia required a halt to US and European arms deliveries to Ukraine as a condition for any ceasefire, while Ukraine insisted on a 30-day pause and refused the short truce.
- Each side has blamed the other for failing to observe the ceasefire, with Ukrainian troops reporting ongoing Russian attacks during the designated pause, and medics describing the fighting as continuing without any real interruption.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that allowing arms shipments during a ceasefire would advantage Ukraine, and US President Donald Trump called for a 30-day ceasefire amid ongoing Russian advances.
- Despite the ceasefire declarations and mediation efforts, Russia said no peaceful means were available, continuing military operations and expressing hope Trump’s involvement might increase Ukraine’s political flexibility.
