Former President Donald Trump has announced a three-day ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. The pause in hostilities is set to include a suspension of all kinetic activity, as well as a prisoner swap involving 1,000 prisoners from each country.
Ceasefire Details
Trump stated that the ceasefire would take effect immediately and last for 72 hours. During this period, all military operations are to cease, allowing for humanitarian corridors and the exchange of prisoners. The announcement comes amid ongoing mutual accusations between Moscow and Kyiv of violating previously declared ceasefires.
Reactions from Moscow and Kyiv
Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to officially confirm the ceasefire. In the past, each side has accused the other of breaking truces, raising questions about the durability of this latest agreement. The prisoner swap, involving 1,000 individuals from each nation, could serve as a confidence-building measure.
The development marks a significant diplomatic effort by Trump, who has previously expressed a desire to end the conflict. The international community is closely watching the situation, with many hoping this ceasefire could pave the way for broader peace talks.
