Putin's ceasefire offer dismissed by Kyiv as manipulation
Head of the Ukrainian Centre for Countering Disinformation (CPD), Andriy Kovalenko, responded to the proposal of the Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin, regarding the alleged ceasefire. "Anything that is not a comprehensive ceasefire is Russian manipulation," Kovalenko wrote.
Vladimir Putin announced another temporary halt to military actions. This is supposed to take place from 8th to 10th May. The matter is related to the celebrations of Victory Day.
"By decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, Vladimir Putin, and on humanitarian grounds, in connection with the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, Russia will declare a ceasefire from midnight on May 7–8 until midnight of May 10–11," the Kremlin stated.
On 9th May, among other countries, Russia observes Victory Day, a national holiday commemorating the end of the Second World War.
Kyiv has already responded to the dictator's proposal.
"Why not a full and comprehensive ceasefire? Anything that is not a comprehensive ceasefire is Russian manipulation for informational and military purposes, an attempt to hide the intention to continue the war," wrote the head of the Ukrainian Centre for Countering Disinformation (CPD), Andriy Kovalenko.
