Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s unilateral call for a three-day ceasefire was an attempt to manipulate the world into believing he’s prepared to end the war.
The Kremlin announced on Monday its decision to suspend “all military actions” from midnight May 8 to midnight May 10 to coincide with World War II Victory Day commemorations. From Putin’s perspective, he does not want the 80th anniversary celebrations — in which he’ll be joined by Chinese leader Xi Jinping — to potentially be impacted by Ukrainian attacks.
