Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Russia’s proposed three-day ceasefire as a political stunt, arguing that only a longer truce could pave the way for meaningful talks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected Russia’s proposal for a three-day ceasefire, dismissing it as a theatrical move aimed at improving President Vladimir Putin’s image rather than achieving meaningful progress.
The proposed pause, set for May 7 to 9, is timed to coincide with Russia’s Victory Day parade in Moscow, which will host foreign dignitaries. Zelenskyy said Ukraine cannot guarantee their safety, warning that Russia could stage incidents and shift the blame onto Ukraine.
Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine supports the U.S.-backed model of an unconditional ceasefire and argued that three days is insufficient to make any real diplomatic progress. Instead, he called for a month-long truce to allow for serious dialogue.
