Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, scheduled from May 9 to May 11. This ceasefire will include a suspension of all military activities and a significant prisoner swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the agreement on his Telegram channel, stating that Russia had consented to the prisoner exchange and that a ceasefire must be established during these dates. The announcement follows Russia's earlier declaration of a two-day unilateral ceasefire to commemorate Victory Day on May 9. Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine had previously offered a ceasefire, which Russia ignored, and he framed the new agreement as a test of Russia's commitment to peace. Both nations have accused each other of breaching previous ceasefires, and there has been no immediate response from Russian officials regarding Trump's announcement.
