Ukraine War: Putin is surprisingly annoying fire break

Russian President Vladimir Putin proclaimed a multi-day ceasefire in the Ukraine War for the victory in the Second World War in 1945. The Kremlin announced on his website from the day of the day of May 8th to the day of the day of May 11th.

“During this time, all fighting should rest.” The announcement was initially one -sided. “Russia assumes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example,” it said. Putin cited “humanitarian considerations” as the reason.

Most recently, the Kremlin boss had a 30-hour ceasefire over Easter on Holy Saturday, which also connected the attacked Ukraine. There were fewer battles in that time; However, they did not come to a standstill. Moscow did not comply with a claim by Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj to extend the fire break after Easter by 30 days.

For Russia, the memory of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany is an important holiday 80 years ago. On May 9, the Russian day of victory, a large military parade will be held in Moscow. For this purpose, numerous state guests are expected, led by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Russia is also under pressure to show gestures of good will. US President Donald Trump, who wants to achieve an end to the war, which has been going on for more than three years, recently accused Moscow of a lack of peace of peace. His administration has threatened to clash as an intermediary if there is no rapid progress.
