US President Donald Trump a short while ago announced on Truth Social a three-day ceasefire in the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war, covering May 9, 10, and 11.
This is the first ever ceasefire announced between the two sides nearly 4 years after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The temporary truce is expected to coincide with Russia’s Victory Day commemorations, while also being framed as a symbolic period of reflection for Ukraine.
According to the statement, the ceasefire would include:
Trump stated that the agreement followed direct engagement with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, adding that both sides had agreed to the temporary pause in fighting.
He described the development as a possible turning point, saying it could mark “the beginning of the end” of what he called the largest conflict since World War II.
Negotiations are reportedly continuing, with hopes of expanding the ceasefire into a longer-term peace framework.
