Trump: Three-day ceasefire agreed in Ukraine

In a significant diplomatic development, U.S. President Donald Trump has brokered a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, a move that offers a glimmer of hope amidst a protracted and devastating conflict. The agreement, slated for May 9-11, coincides with Victory Day celebrations in Russia and acknowledges Ukraine's historical role in World War II. This initiative, announced via Trump's social media platform Truth Social, aims to halt hostilities and facilitate a substantial exchange of prisoners of war.

“

Drago mi je da objavim da će 9, 10. i 11. maja biti primirje u ratu između Rusije i Ukrajine.

Trump expressed his gratitude to both Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy for their cooperation, framing the ceasefire as a potential "beginning of the end" to the war. He highlighted ongoing discussions to resolve the conflict, which he described as the largest since World War II, suggesting that progress is being made. The U.S. President's direct involvement in brokering this truce underscores his administration's commitment to de-escalating the crisis.

Primirje će podrazumevati obustavu svih borbenih aktivnosti, kao i razmenu po 1.000 ratnih zarobljenika

President Zelenskyy confirmed the ceasefire, prioritizing the return of Ukrainian prisoners over symbolic gestures like Red Square. This stance underscores the immense human cost of the war and the paramount importance of reuniting captured soldiers with their families. Similarly, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian President, validated the agreement, confirming Russia's acceptance of Trump's initiative for the ceasefire and the prisoner exchange. The confirmation from both Kyiv and Moscow signals a rare moment of potential convergence, driven by American mediation.
