Putin announced a truce with Ukraine.

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, announced a 'truce' during the celebration of 'Victory Day'.

According to a statement on the website of the President of the Russian Federation, the 'truce' will last from May 7 to May 10.

'The Russian side announces a truce. During this period, all hostilities are suspended', - the Kremlin reported.

Russia calls on Ukraine to join this truce.

It should be noted that May 8 is commemorated in Ukraine as the Day of Memory and Victory over Nazism in World War II.

The Kremlin also stated its readiness for peace negotiations without preconditions.

'In case of a breach of the truce, we will provide an adequate and effective response', - it was added in the report.

It is worth noting that previously, Putin had announced a truce during Easter, but shelling continued.

We hope that this truce will indeed lead to the cessation of hostilities and openness for peace negotiations.
