Trump Announces Three-Day Ceasefire Between Russia and Ukraine

In a significant development that could signal a de-escalation in the protracted conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The announcement, made via his social media platform Truth Social, proposes a cessation of hostilities from Saturday through Monday, with the aim of paving the way for further peace talks.

“

Z veseljem sporočam, da bo v vojni med Rusijo in Ukrajino obveljala TRIDNEVNA PREKINITEV OGNJA (9., 10. in 11. maja),« je objavil Trump in navedel, da bo premirje vključevalo prekinitev vseh vojaških aktivnosti ter izmenjavo po 1000 ujetnikov med stranema.

The proposed truce includes a comprehensive halt to all military operations and a substantial prisoner exchange, with each side agreeing to release 1,000 captives. President Trump emphasized his personal role in brokering this agreement, stating that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have consented to the terms. This diplomatic initiative underscores a potential shift in the international community's approach to resolving the conflict.

Zatrdil je, da je predlog za tridnevno premirje podal on sam ter da sta se z njim strinjala tako ruski predsednik Vladimir Putin kot ukrajinski Volodimir Zelenski.

President Trump expressed optimism about the ceasefire, calling it a potential "start to the end of a very long, deadly and difficult war." He highlighted that discussions to end the conflict, described as the largest since World War II, are ongoing and progressing. This development, if successful, could mark a crucial turning point in the efforts to bring lasting peace to the region, offering a much-needed respite to the affected populations.

“

Upajmo, da je to začetek konca zelo dolge, smrtonosne in težko bite vojne. Pogovori o končanju tega velikega konflikta, največjega od druge svetovne vojne, se nadaljujejo in vsak dan smo temu cilju vse bližje,« je dodal.
