US President Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, set to take place from May 9 to May 11. This ceasefire coincides with commemorations marking the end of World War Two for Russia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump mentioned that the ceasefire would involve a suspension of all military activities and a prisoner swap of 1,000 prisoners from each side. This announcement follows a phone call Trump had with Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 29, where they discussed the potential for a temporary ceasefire. Meanwhile, Ukraine has proposed an open-ended ceasefire starting from midnight on Tuesday, urging Russia to respond positively. However, peace talks have become deadlocked, particularly concerning the eastern Donetsk region, where Moscow demands Ukraine withdraw its troops. Both nations have accused each other of violating previously declared ceasefires.
