Russia to cease fire in Ukraine on May 9

Vladimir Putin has ordered a halt to all military operations in Ukraine from midnight on May 7-8 to midnight on May 10-11 in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory. However, if the ceasefire is violated by Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces will “respond appropriately and effectively.” The Kremlin has called on Ukraine to “follow this example.”
