Zelensky says won't play Putin's 'games' with short truce

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected a Russian proposal for a three-day truce around May 9, calling it theatrics while Kyiv sought a full 30-day ceasefire.
  • Russia offered the short truce as part of May 9 Victory Day celebrations, which include a grand military parade and Putin's national address, but Kyiv and Washington view it as a tactic to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Moscow.
  • Zelensky said Ukraine and Washington both pushed for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, but Russia has so far rejected it amid ongoing hostilities and intensified aerial attacks.
  • Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine has no intention of facilitating a favorable environment that would enable Putin to break his isolation during the May 9 events. He also highlighted that Ukraine cannot guarantee the security of foreign dignitaries visiting Russia on that day, stating it is not responsible for incidents occurring within Russian territory.
  • The United States warned it may abandon ceasefire efforts without progress and continues seeking a complete, durable end to the conflict, while Russia prepares large celebrations and military support rallies.
