US president says on Truth Social the ceasefire will include suspension of all ‘kinetic activity’ and prisoner swap
Donald Trump has announced on social media that there will be a three-day ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine from 9 to 11 May.
The US president said the ceasefire would include a suspension of all “kinetic activity” and a swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country.
Trump said in his Truth Social post: “Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War,” adding that there was constant progress in talks to end the conflict.
Russia had previously announced a two-day unilateral ceasefire to mark its 9 May second world war Victory Day on Saturday. Ukraine previously said that it too had offered a truce but that this had been ignored by Moscow.
