UN welcomes Russian, Ukrainian unilateral ceasefires

The United Nations has welcomed separate unilateral ceasefires announced by both Ukraine and Russia.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the organization hopes both truces are successfully implemented and repeated Secretary-General António Guterres’s call for a full, immediate, unconditional, and lasting ceasefire leading to a sustainable peace.

Russia announced a temporary ceasefire for May 8–9 around Victory Day, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would begin its own ceasefire starting May 6, though without a specified end date.

Previous temporary truces, including one during Orthodox Easter, were unsuccessful, with both sides accusing each other of violations.
