Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Monday that Russia will observe a three-day truce next month during its ongoing conflict with Ukraine, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union and its allies’ triumph in World War Two.
According to a Kremlin announcement, the ceasefire will take effect at the beginning of May 8 and continue until the conclusion of May 10, spanning 72 hours in total. Russia also urged Ukraine to participate in the pause.
The statement emphasized that if Ukraine breaches the ceasefire, Russia’s military would deliver an “adequate and effective response.”
