The Russian president has ordered military operations halted for three days to commemorate victory over Nazi Germany

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict for three days in honor of the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. The truce will last from May 8 to May 10th, the Kremlin has said.

Putin is said to have announced the ceasefire based on "humanitarian considerations" and has ordered the suspension of all military action against Ukraine's forces from midnight on May 7-8 to midnight on May 10-11.

The Kremlin noted that Moscow expects the Ukrainian side to abide by the truce and warned that if Kiev's forces violate it, the Russian military will give an "adequate and effective response."

"The Russian side once again declares its readiness for peace talks without preconditions, aimed at eliminating the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, and for constructive interaction with international partners," the Kremlin's message concluded.
