The ceasefire, according to the Kremlin, would last from the morning of May 8 through May 11, which is when World War Two victory celebrations take place.
A truce that lasts “at least 30 days” is what Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha demanded in response.
The White House stated that US President Donald Trump, who has been trying to mediate a ceasefire between the two sides, wants to see a permanent ceasefire.
While both sides reported a lull in violence, the Kremlin issued a similar 30-hour truce during Easter, accusing one another of hundreds of infractions.
More than 20 ceasefire attempts have been made in Ukraine; all of them ultimately failed, some of them just minutes after they were supposed to.
