Vladimir Putin declared a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, starting May 8, to honor Victory Dayâs 80th anniversary over Nazi Germany. The announcement coincides with ongoing stalled peace talks, emphasizing humanitarian considerations as the rationale for the truce. The U.S. is urging both sides to negotiate an end to the conflict. However, the reaction from Ukraine remains uncommunicated. Political analysts suggest this ceasefire doesn't indicate a broader peace and that negotiations are still complicated, especially given Trump administration's focus on reevaluating involvement in Ukraine.
Based on humanitarian considerations, the Russian side declares a truce during the 80th anniversary of the Victory Day. For this period, all hostilities are stopped.
This week is going to be a really important week in which we have to make a determination about whether this is an endeavor that we want to continue to be involved in.
Putin's truce on Victory Day means that no general long-term truce will be declared in April. This means that the negotiations are far from over.
