Putin announces unilateral three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8
Russian President Vladimir Putin has unilaterally declared a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8-11 to coincide with World War II commemorations and called on Kyiv to do the same, the Kremlin said Monday.
The Kremlin said the decision was based on “humanitarian considerations” and a truce would be held from midnight on May 7-8 to midnight on May 10-11 to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Moscow has previously rejected a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire that was agreed to by Ukraine.
CNN is reaching out to the Ukrainian government for a response.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
