Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared Monday that his nation will implement a halt in fighting starting at midnight on Tuesday, May 5th.
In a message posted to Telegram, Zelenskiy indicated that Moscow has failed to respond to Ukraine’s previous requests for a cessation of hostilities. He explained that Ukraine is moving forward with the decision because it considers “human life is incomparably more valuable than the ‘celebration’ of any anniversary.”
“In this regard, we announce a regime of silence starting from 00.00 on the night of May 5 to May 6,” the Ukrainian leader stated.
Zelenskiy did not specify how long the ceasefire would last, but indicated that Ukraine would “act symmetrically from the specified moment.”
