“I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.

“This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” said the US president.

“Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War.”

Gary Kasparov announcement :

“On May 9, Red Square will host a parade of murderers and vehicles built for killing. Any presence at this fascist event is a disgrace and an open endorsement of Russian war crimes.

Moreover, it is a participation in a historical lie. The so-called “Victory Day” is a fictitious holiday, a fake created by Stalin. In reality, the war ended on May 8, and everything related to the Soviet interpretation of World War II is a lie from beginning to end.

Without American aid, Stalin would have lost the war within the first year. The Soviet army didn’t know how to fight — everything was falling apart. The Germans would have reached the Urals if not for the massive support from the West. The war Stalin was preparing for was doomed to failure from the outset.

Any military victory is always presented as an achievement of the regime and inevitably leads to negative consequences. Only a military defeat of the regime can initiate political change in Russia. This is not a theory — it’s an axiom confirmed by all of Russian history.

If we want change, we must do everything possible for Ukraine to win. The total defeat of Putin’s army is our only chance.

Maybe it’s already missed, maybe we are too late. But until this regime is militarily crushed, until this truth reaches the minds of those who cheer with joy today, who laugh and live with war as part of their daily life, nothing will change.

The Ukrainian flag in Sevastopol is our only chance for a shift in mass consciousness. There is no other chance.”
