The media noted that “Russia, given the humanitarian considerations, announces a truce from 0.00 on May 8 to 0.00 May 11.”
“The fire will be discontinued, but if there is no reciprocity from the Kyiv regime and there will be attempts to strike at Russian positions or objects, then an adequate answer will be immediately given,” Peskov said.
Despite the Kremlin’s statement, according to the air forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after 0.00 on May 8, the Russians at least three times attacked the Sumy region with adjustable air bombs.
Context
Putin announced the three -day “truce” with Ukraine on April 28. The Kremlin website notes that the Russian illegitimate president was allegedly guided by “humanitarian considerations.” They believe that Ukraine should “follow this example”, otherwise threatened with an “effective answer.”
Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga asked why wait until May 8, if Russia really wants peace. Zelensky considers Putin’s statement about the “truce” by the next attempts to manipulate the Kremlin and invited Moscow to extend the truce for 30 days.
On the same day, the White House Speaker Caroline Livitt said that US President Donald Trump wants to see a constant ceasefire in the Russian war against Ukraine. The special representative of Trump on Ukraine Keith Kellogs noted that the 30-day truce can be continued.
The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggested that Putin wants to avoid the possible shelling of Moscow, where the leaders of the countries of the former USSR, Latin America, Asia and Africa promised to come on May 9.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the three -day termination of hostilities in Ukraine is supposedly the beginning of direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev regarding the ceasefire.
May 3 at a press conference Zelensky rejected the proposal of the Russian Federation on the three -day silence regimeoffering a 30-day truce instead.
