| Putin Calls for a 72 hour Victory Day ceasefire |
Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a three-day truce in Ukraine. Why? To mark the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II. The ceasefire runs from May 8 to May 10. The Kremlin made the announcement, framing it as a humanitarian gesture.
But let’s be real—this isn’t the first time. Putin ordered a similar pause for Easter, and guess what? Ukraine allegedly violated it thousands of times. Still, Moscow claims overall fighting dropped. Now, Russia’s saying it’s ready for peace talks—no preconditions.
"We expect Kiev to respect the truce," the Kremlin warned. "If not… well, we’ll respond." (That’s not an exact quote, but you get the gist.)
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Donald Trump’s still in the game. The US president reportedly vowed not to ditch Ukraine peace talks—despite earlier threats to walk away if things stalled.
So, will this ceasefire hold? Doubtful. But for three days, at least, the guns might fall silent. Maybe.
