Putin's ceasefire offer

RUSSIA'S President Vladimir Putin has declared a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8 to May 10, as Russia celebrates the anniversary of its victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.

The announcement came as United States President Donald Trump’s administration ponders whether a deal to end the war is within reach.

The Kremlin said Mr Putin has ordered the full cessation of hostilities on “humanitarian grounds” to mark the May 9 holiday celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Up until now, the Russian president had refused to accept a complete unconditional ceasefire, linking it to a halt in Western arms supplies to Ukraine and Ukraine's mobilisation effort.
