Truce Endures on May 9th Duration: Three Days
Hey there! Let's talk about the current situation between Russia and Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin called for a temporary ceasefire during the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War on April 28. The proposed ceasefire seemed to be a testing ground for Kyiv's willingness to find a long-term, stable peace with Russia.
Moscow requested Kyiv to follow suit and also declare a ceasefire, but President Volodymyr Zelensky refused and suggested a 30-day ceasefire instead, as reported by "Interfax Ukraine." Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary of the Russian President, highlighted that such a ceasefire wouldn't be feasible without resolving all the underlying issues.
The last time a ceasefire was declared was over Easter, lasting from April 19 to 21. During this period, both sides frequently accused each other of breaking the ceasefire. Despite a reported decrease in combat activity by the Armed Forces of Ukraine during these days, Kyiv apparently violated the ceasefire almost 5,000 times.

As of the latest developments, here's a quick rundown of the current situation:
Previously, former U.S. President Donald Trump called for a ceasefire in Russia-Ukraine conflicts, expressing his support for President Zelensky's proposition of an unconditional ceasefire as the initial step for any direct negotiations for a permanent peace.
President Zelensky has shown readiness for peace talks with Russia, but under the condition that Russia proves its genuine intent to end the war by instating a full, unconditional ceasefire.
However, as of the latest updates, there's no direct quote or statement from Russian President Vladimir Putin responding to Zelensky's 30-day ceasefire proposal. Traditionally, Russia has been hesitant to accept such conditions without proper negotiations and guarantees of its interests.
Overseas figures like Trump have expressed a willingness to mediate a peace agreement, but specific details about direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine regarding Zelensky's proposal are not readily available.
Ultimately, while support for ceasefires has been expressed, the key factor will be Russia's response and its willingness to engage in meaningful negotiations that could lead to lasting peace.
- President Zelensky countered Moscow's call for a ceasefire on the anniversary of the Great Patriotic War by proposing a 30-day ceasefire to 'Interfax Ukraine', rather than a temporary one.
- Despite President Zelensky's readiness for peace talks with Russia, a response from Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding Zelensky's 30-day ceasefire proposal remains absent as of the latest updates.
- The political landscape of the Russia-Ukraine war-and-conflicts could potentially shift if Russia accepts President Zelensky's 30-day ceasefire proposal, paving the way for general news about long-term, stable peace negotiations.
- While the war-and-conflicts between Russia and Ukraine continue, developments in the políticas of the leaders involved, such as Zelensky's proactive stance on proposing a ceasefire, will be crucial in determining the course of future activities of the opposing forces.
