It is the second time in less than two weeks that the Russian president has called a halt to fighting without committing to a long-term end to the war.

Ukraine, which has previously agreed to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal of a full 30-day ceasefire, dismissed Putin’s move as window dressing.

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine on Monday (April 28), set to begin at midnight local time on May 8 and end at midnight on May 11. This announcement comes shortly after President Donald Trump suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy might be willing to cede Crimea to Russia as part of a broader peace agreement.
