Zelensky announces open-ended Ukraine ceasefire ahead of Russian Victory Day

Russia Volodymyr Zelenksyy Ukraine Victory Day Moscow Germany

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has proposed an open-ended ceasefire, scheduled to commence at 12am on Wednesday 6 May.
This follows Russia's request for a two-day truce on 8-9 May to observe Victory Day, marking the 81st anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat.
Mr Zelensky initially dismissed Moscow's request as “not serious” and refused to provide security for a military parade in Moscow.
The Russian defence ministry earlier threatened retaliation if the festivities were disrupted.
Ukraine will now observe the truce from Wednesday and respond in kind to any Russian actions, with Mr Zelensky not announcing an end date for the temporary ceasefire.
