Putin declares temporary truce during Victory Day anniversary celebrations

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire to come into effect during the 80th anniversary commemoration of V Day, which celebrates the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in 1945.

The ceasefire will come into effect on May 8 and end on May 10, the Kremlin announced in a statement posted to its official Telegram channel Monday.

"Based on humanitarian considerations, the Russian side declares a truce during the 80th anniversary of the Victory Day," the statement said, attributing the decision to Putin. "For this period, all hostilities are stopped," it added.

"Russia believes that the Ukrainian side should follow this example," the statement continued. "In the event of violations of the truce by the Ukrainian side, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will give an adequate and effective response."
