Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a three-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine next month to celebrate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany during World War II.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, even as President Donald Trump has expressed growing impatience with the stalled efforts to reach a peace agreement.

After being accused of violating the last short-term truce, President Vladimir Putin says Russia will halt its war in Ukraine for three days to mark 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany.
