To date, Ukraine has not received an official request to cease military operations, as has been circulated on Russian social media. We believe that human life is incomparably more valuable than the “celebration” of any anniversary. Therefore, we declare a ceasefire from 00:00 on the night of May 5-6.
Modern.az reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this on his “Telegram” page.
Zelensky noted that ensuring a ceasefire during that period is realistic. “We will act in the same way from that moment on. If the Russian Ministry of Defense believes that it cannot hold a parade in Moscow without a goodwill gesture from Ukraine, this indicates that it is time for the Russian leadership to take real steps to end the war,” Zelensky added.
