Putin orders 3-day ceasefire in Ukraine conflict to mark 80th anniversary of World War II victory

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, set to run from May 8 to May 10. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha quickly responded, saying if Russia wants peace, it should cease fire immediately. Russia believes Ukraine should follow its example and join the ceasefire. The truce coincides with Russia's World War II Victory Day commemorations on May 9.
But the ball is not in our court. So far, Kyiv has not demonstrated its ability to negotiate.
If Russia truly wants peace, it must cease fire immediately. Why wait until May 8th?
Why wait until May 8th? If the fire can be ceased now and since any date for 30 days — so it is real, not just for a parade.
Ukraine is ready to support a lasting, durable, and full ceasefire. And this is what we are constantly proposing, for at least 30 days.
All the Russians' statements about peace without ceasing fire are just plain lies.
This week is going to be a really important week in which we have to make a determination about whether this is an endeavor that we want to continue to be involved in, or if it's time to sort of focus on some other issues that are equally, if not more, important.
And while he remains optimistic he can strike a deal, he's also being realistic as well. … And both leaders need to come to the table to negotiate their way out of this.
We have the confines of a deal, I believe, and I want him to sign it and be done with it and just go back to life.
There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along.
Putin's truce on Victory Day means that no general long-term truce will be declared in April. This means that the negotiations are far from over. Russia is defending its demands at the negotiations.
