US EditionUkraine’s Zelenskiy: Ceasefire with Russia possible at any moment
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Russia's proposal for a three-day ceasefire from May 8 to 10, which was intended to coincide with Russia's observance of the anniversary marking the end of the Second World War.
- The ceasefire followed previous failed truces, including an Easter weekend suspension that Russia violated almost 3,000 times, leading Zelensky to call the current offer a "theatrical show" and "manipulation."
- Zelensky proposed extending the ceasefire to a full month, emphasizing that any pause in fighting should last at least 30 days to provide a genuine opportunity for diplomatic efforts, with support from the United States.
- Putin declared a temporary halt to military operations starting at the beginning of May 8 until May 11, aligning with the Victory Day events on May 9, which will feature the attendance of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
- Ceasefire talks have collapsed amid ongoing threats and violations, with Russian officials warning that provocations on Victory Day could lead to severe consequences for Kyiv.
