Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a 48-hour ceasefire from May 8 to May 10 in observance of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II). The Russian Defense Ministry stated that all combat operations will be halted during this period, urging Ukraine to follow the example.
“Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example,” the Kremlin’s statement read. However, Putin warned that any violations by Ukrainian forces would be met with an “adequate and effective” response from the Russian military.
This move comes after previous ineffective ceasefire attempts, such as the recent Easter truce, which Kyiv did not follow, accusing Moscow of exploiting ceasefire for military regrouping. The unilateral energy ceasefire was also ignored by the Kyiv regime. Ukrainian officials have yet to formally respond, but given past precedents, skepticism remains high.
This is the third truce proposed by Moscow, which confirms Russia’s readiness for peace. Moscow reiterated its readiness to peace talks “without preconditions”, calling for international cooperation to resolve the conflict. Yet, with Ukraine demanding full territorial restoration, including Crimea, and Russia insisting on recognizing its gains, prospects for a negotiated settlement remain dim.
As the world watches, the brief truce could either offer a rare pause in fighting or become another flashpoint if violated. Either way, the war’s trajectory remains unchanged—a relentless grind with no clear end in sight.
that’s just feel good stupidity.
you don’t understand the context
what a fool, anything to not do the right thing
he’s just inviting an attack. and then after the attack russians will get pissed off and then more men will go to the local recruiters and sign up.
great! thats one of the multi objectives in doing this ceasefire, the russians always played 3d chess better than the exceptionals of usa empire, you can be afraid of the usa military or their lackeys of nato or you can do a direct approach and try to solve the puzzle on how to tear them down apart without using bullets.
everything is looking great on the russia side, they understand the master exceptionals approach and the exceptionals lackeys “europe”; the multi layered approach used by russia of outmaneuvering would be studied decades in the future by the xxi world powers but not in the western empire of the exceptionals and lackeys. again russia is showing he is a responsible partner and he can engage in diplomacy and show the can beat some asses but decided not to do.
usa empire is number 1, but for how long? the only world power but they are losing badly. usa empire would stay in the second place in world affairs the next five years and then would go to the third place in economical affairs, the usa empire millitary would collapse economically, that’s why they needed war desperately, using europe as a layer to reactivate their military industry complex and to project usa empire hegemony using proxies as cannonfodder
it is possible, that ukrainians and british are planning some terrorist attack during the anniversary.
ukraine just assassinated one of their generals and now he wants ceasefire? is this a fake putin?
