The Kremlin has confirmed that Russia will implement a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8 to May 10, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. This ceasefire was ordered by President Vladimir Putin and was announced on April 28. However, Russia has warned that it will respond immediately and appropriately if Ukraine launches any attacks during this period. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that all necessary instructions for the ceasefire have been given and emphasized that the proposal remains in effect. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the ceasefire, calling for a 30-day truce instead to facilitate real negotiations. The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova noted that Zelensky publicly refused the ceasefire and made threats of terrorist attacks during the Moscow parade. The Kremlin has also restricted mobile internet in Moscow citing security concerns. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Sybiha criticized Russia's response to Ukraine's longer ceasefire proposal as a deliberate mockery of US peace efforts.
