Putin Declares 3-Day Ceasefire in Ukraine for Victory Day, Drawing Criticism
- Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a ceasefire lasting three days, from May 8 to May 10, in observance of the holiday commemorating the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
- The ceasefire follows over three years of conflict that began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022 and amid ongoing diplomatic talks with mixed progress and mutual distrust.
- Despite the ceasefire announcement, Russian forces continued missile and drone strikes, downing 119 Ukrainian drones overnight mostly near Russia's border, while casualties and damage persisted in eastern Ukraine.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called this week very critical and warned the U.S. might withdraw from peace efforts without rapid progress, while Trump described a brokered settlement as close and urged Putin to sign a deal.
- The ceasefire's success and future peace negotiations hinge on respecting Ukraine's constitution, European commitments, and territorial integrity amid disagreement over concessions, especially regarding Crimea and Russian-held regions.
