US President Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, set to take place from May 9 to May 11, 2026. This agreement, confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov, includes a suspension of all military activities and a prisoner exchange of 1,000 individuals from each side. Trump expressed optimism that this ceasefire could signify the 'beginning of the end' of the ongoing conflict that began in February 2022. Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine's involvement was influenced by the desire to secure the return of prisoners of war, a key priority for Kyiv. He also issued a decree to declare Moscow's Red Square off-limits for Ukrainian strikes during the Victory Day events, while the Kremlin dismissed this as a 'silly joke.' Despite previous failed ceasefires, Trump indicated that negotiations were progressing, and he thanked his team for their diplomatic efforts.
