Ukraine Says Russia Has Made No Official Ceasefire Offer for May 9
Share:
Ukraine's government stated it has not received any official ceasefire proposal from Russia ahead of May 9, despite recent diplomatic signals from Moscow. Ukrainian officials characterized the Russian signals as a diplomatic maneuver designed to improve President Vladimir Putin's image in Western countries. May 9 marks Victory Day in Russia, commemorating the end of World War II in Europe, and has been a significant date in Russian political calendar since the country's invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
