President Trump said Friday that Ukraine and Russia will embark on a three-day cease-fire that could be the “beginning of the end” of the more than four-year-old war — as both nations pause to celebrate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans for the cease-fire earlier this week. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the truce would last three days, including Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

This request was made directly by me,” Trump wrote.
“Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day.”
