US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he personally requested a three-day ceasefire from both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reportedly agreed. Under this truce, both countries are set to exchange 1,000 prisoners. Trump described the war as the worst since World War II, highlighting the loss of 25,000 young soldiers each month. He expressed optimism about the ceasefire potentially marking the 'beginning of the end' of the conflict. Despite his positive outlook, both Kyiv and Moscow have yet to formally confirm the ceasefire, raising concerns about its durability. Observers note that while the ceasefire could provide a much-needed humanitarian pause, the situation remains tense, with troops still positioned along the front lines. The world is now watching to see if this ceasefire will hold or if it will be another brief attempt at peace.
