Putin declares the high unilateral fire of 3 days in Ukraine after being accused of raping the Easter truce

The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, ordered a high three -day fire in the war in his country in Ukraine, from May 8 to 10, coinciding with the commemorations of the Victory Day of World War II of Moscow, the Kremlin said Monday. Ukraine quickly accused Putin’s forces, which have more than three years in their large -scale invasion of Violating the last high the fire that Putin declaredEaster Sunday.

The three -day truce declared by Putin on Monday covers the national holiday in Russia that coincides with the victory in Europe, or VE Day, which is marked throughout Europe on May 8, the date on which Nazi Germany Germany admitted the defeat before the allied forces in 1945. The then Soviet Union was one of those allies, together with the United States, which defeated the fascist regime of Adolf Hitler

“Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example,” said Kremlin on Monday by announcing Putin’s order. “In case of rapes of the truce on the Ukrainian side, the Russian armed forces will give an adequate and effective response.”

On Easter Sunday, just a few hours from the last high the temporary fire that Putin declared, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy He accused Moscow of trying to create a false appearance of honoring the truce. He said that while the air attacks and missiles had slowed down at least, their forces recorded 59 separate cases of Russian bombings and five attacks along the front line of 600 miles, which extends from the north to south to east borders of East Ukraine.

“In practice, Putin does not have total control over his army, or the situation shows that in Russia, they do not intend to make a genuine movement to finish the war, and are only interested in a favorable public relations coverage,” he wrote.

The Unilateral Putin statement of another high fire occurs in the midst of the intense pressure of the Trump administration in kyiv and Moscow to reach an agreement to end the fight in the three -year war caused by the large -scale invasion of February 24, February 24, 2022.

On Saturday, Zelenskyy and President Trump He gathered for about 15 minutes in the Basilica of San Pedro before Pope Francis’s funeral.

After the meeting, Trump seemed to have changed his tone in Ukraine and the war, saying that Zelenskyy is ready to make a peace agreement to finish the war. He also criticized Russia for his recent attacks in Ukraine, even threatening with bank or secondary sanctions to Moscow in a real social position.

“We had a good meeting, it was a beautiful meeting,” Trump told journalists outside the White House on Sunday, recognizing that Zelenskyy has a “difficult way ahead.”

When asked if he trusted Putin, Mr. Trump replied: “He will know in about two weeks,” without giving more details.

Last week, vice president JD Vance also warned that Putin and Zelenskyy must reach an agreement or the Trump administration would end their efforts to forge a durable fire. It was the Second Warning of the Trump Administration In less than a week, despite Mr. Trump’s frequent promises before his second term that the war would end immediately.

“We have issued a very explicit proposal to both Russians and Ukrainians, and it is time for them to say yes or that the United States moves away from this process,” Vance told reporters.

A couple of days after Vance’s warning, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov He told Margaret Brennan by News themezone that the Kremlin was “ready to reach an agreement” with the United States in Ukraine, but that some elements still needed to be “adjusted.”

“The president of the United States believes, and I think that we are rightly moving in the right direction,” said Lavrov.

Lavrov refused to say what details were discussed in the United States negotiations in Russia, or if he believed that an agreement was imminent.

Russia has said for a long time that it is open to a negotiated end of the war, but has refused to offer any concession publicly, and routinely Kremlin insists that any high fire must deal with what Putin considers the “fundamental causes” of war, which has always blamed Ukraine and the West despite its own order of the invasion of a neighboring nation.

Trump has sometimes echoed the Kremlin rhetoric on the causes of war, and the senior administration officials have made it clear that they believe that Ukraine will have to produce part of the territory that Russia has taken control in the last decade to end the fighting. While some White House officials have said that Russia will also have to make concessions, it is not clear what the Trump Administration of Putin will require to reach a lasting truce.
