Putin announced a 3-day ceasefire with Ukraine, effective before Victory Day on May 9.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sibiha emphasized their support for a permanent ceasefire, but insisted Russia must stop its attacks.

Trump stated that both leaders need to come to the negotiation table. He reiterated that the temporary ceasefire should lead to a lasting peace.

Zelensky argued that Putin's ceasefire announcement was a manipulation and insisted that a genuine ceasefire should last at least 30 days.

The Kremlin stated that if the ceasefire is not respected, an appropriate response will be given. International pressure to end the war is increasing.
