Kremlin says Russia still plans to cease fire in Ukraine from May 8-10 but will respond if attacked

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8 to May 10 to commemorate eight decades since the Soviet Union’s triumph in World War II.
The ceasefire was proposed unilaterally by Russia ahead of its May 9 military parade, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed it as a hollow gesture and rejected the plan.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the ceasefire order remains in force while warning Russian forces will respond immediately if Ukrainian attacks occur during this period.
Zelenskiy stated he would only agree to a ceasefire lasting at least 30 days, which Putin said requires significant negotiation before it could be realized.
The ceasefire reflects Russia’s intention to pause hostilities temporarily for Victory Day events but also signals readiness for combat if Ukraine breaches the truce.
