May 4 (Reuters) – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Ukraine would observe a ceasefire beginning at midnight on the night of Tuesday, May 5.
Zelenskiy, writing on Telegram, said Russia had not responded to Kyiv’s calls for a ceasefire and was proceeding because it believed that “human life is incomparably more valuable than the ‘celebration’ of any anniversary.”
“In this regard, we announce a regime of silence starting from 00.00 on the night of May 5 to May 6,” he wrote.
Zelenskiy gave no timeframe for the ceasefire but said Ukraine would “act symmetrically from the specified moment.”
