Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday announced a three-day Ukraine ceasefire from May 8 to May 10, the Kremlin said.This aligns with Moscow’s observance of World War II Victory Day and amped up efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump to broker a peace deal in the war-hit nation.
“Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example. In the event of violations of the truce by the Ukrainian side, the Russian armed forces will give an adequate and effective response,” AFP quoted the Kremlin as saying.
However, it also warned Ukraine that Russia will ‘respond’ if the truce is breached.
