Yury Ushakov, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has stated that US President Donald Trump's expectations for an extension of the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine are unrealistic. Ushakov emphasized that while Trump is working towards this goal, the ceasefire's continuation is contingent upon the actions of all parties involved. He also mentioned that relevant agencies in both Russia and Ukraine are currently working on lists for a potential exchange of prisoners of war, which could commence once an agreement is reached. The ongoing discussions are seen as a positive step, although the actual implementation will require time and cooperation from both sides. The ceasefire, announced by Trump, is set to last from May 9 to 11, aligning with Russia's Victory Day celebrations, which honor the Soviet Union's role in World War II. Ushakov noted that preliminary work on the prisoner exchange had been initiated before the ceasefire announcement, and he expressed hope that the pressure from Trump might expedite the process.
