Reminder
Russia, by Putin's decision, announced a "truce" on the days of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. From midnight on May 8 to zero hours on May 11. All hostilities are suspended for this period, the Kremlin said. There they called Putin's "truce" on May 9 "a test of readiness" to find ways for a long-term and lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
The National Security and Defense Council stated that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is spreading false accusations against Ukraine of violating the truce. In fact, the Russian Federation is violating its own "truce" by hitting civilians in Kharkiv region with drones, launching air strikes on Sumy region and attacking on the front.
May 09, 2025 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated about active and productive communication with the American side regarding the establishment of a ceasefire regime, at least for 30 days.
