Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has ordered a surprise 72-hour ceasefire in Ukraine to mark the 80th anniversary of the Second World War ending and has urged Kyiv to follow suit.


'Based on humanitarian considerations, the Russian side is declaring a truce during the 80th anniversary of Victory Day,' the Kremlin announced on Monday, claiming from May 8 through May 10 'all hostilities' would be stopped.

Ukraine and Russia have been together in the second world war and is commendable that Putin remembered the sacrifice and suffering pass through that dark moment of human history.

What is the essence when they would resume the hostilities and bombing after the three days. Doesn't make sense.

Yeah but they need to still cease fire and all the strikes. They need to embrace peace at all cost
