LONDON — So, like, Russian President Vladimir Putin was all, “Hey guys, let’s take a break from fighting during the 80th anniversary of V Day,” which celebrates the Soviet Union beating Nazi Germany in 1945. The ceasefire is gonna start on May 8 and end on May 10, according to a statement from the Kremlin posted on their official Telegram channel on Monday.
“Um, yeah, we’re gonna stop fighting for a bit because, you know, humanitarian stuff,” the statement said, giving credit to Putin for the decision. “No more fighting during this time, okay?” it added.
Russia is like, “Yo, Ukraine should totally do the same thing.” And they’re like, “If Ukraine breaks the ceasefire, we’re gonna fight back, just saying.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is all, “Why wait until May 8? Let’s stop fighting now!” He’s not really feeling the whole waiting game.
Zelenskyy is also like, “The ceasefire should be longer, not just a few days. Let’s make it, like, 30 days to really make sure we’re serious about peace.”
On Sunday, Zelenskyy was all, “Russia is pretending to want peace, but they’re still attacking us.” He’s not buying into their whole act.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had a chit-chat with Zelenskyy in Rome on April 26. They were probably discussing the whole ceasefire situation.
The Russians keep talking about being ready to negotiate with the U.S., but Zelenskyy is like, “I don’t see them actually preparing for peace. They’re still attacking us.”
Zelenskyy is all, “Every day of fighting shows that Russia is just trying to trick everyone and keep the war going. We need to put pressure on them to stop.”
So, yeah, that’s the latest update on the ceasefire situation between Russia and Ukraine. Let’s hope they can figure things out and stop all the fighting. It’s been going on for way too long.
