The true post(Web News) Russia and Ukraine announce temporary ceasefire, short ceasefires have become a Russian tradition.
Putin announced a 30-hour ceasefire on Easter Sunday, presenting it as a humanitarian gesture. Putin unilaterally announced a three-day ceasefire in early May from May 8 to May 10. These days will mark 80 years since the end of World War II. In a statement, the Kremlin said that all military operations will be suspended for 72 hours. The statement also mentioned humanitarian concerns and made it clear that Russia expects Ukraine to comply.
In response to the proposal, Ukraine has questioned why Russia cannot immediately declare a ceasefire and has also called for a ceasefire period of at least 30 days. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister said that if Russia really wants peace, it must immediately cease hostilities. Why wait until May 8?” The question is, is this a serious and sincere attempt by the Russian president, who invaded Ukraine three years ago, to stop the fighting? Or is he just practicing to show off to US President Donald Trump?
Russia’s critics will surely see it as a publicity stunt. During the Easter ceasefire, Ukraine repeatedly accused Russian troops of violating it. By announcing a 30-hour ceasefire, Moscow tried to send the message to the White House that Russia was a peacemaker in the war while Ukraine was the aggressor. Russia accused Ukraine of prolonging the war by ignoring peace offers. But Donald Trump’s recent statements show that this effort has not been successful. “There is no reason to fire missiles into urban areas,” Trump wrote on the platform Truth Social. “I think he (Putin) doesn’t want to stop the war and now we have to do something different, either through banking or sanctions, because so many people are dying.
Russia’s deep-sea operations are disturbing the Western world. And in such a situation, Russia has once again announced a ceasefire, which this time is a little longer than the previous ceasefire, i.e. three days. And this time too, there has been talk of humanitarian sympathy. Is this also an attempt to show America that Russia’s intentions are positive ?
