President Trump announced on May 8, 2026, that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a three-day ceasefire covering May 9-11, including a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap, coinciding with Russia's Victory Day. The deal follows weeks of dueling unilateral ceasefires that collapsed within hours, and comes against a backdrop of at least 70 civilians killed in Ukraine since May 1 and a documented history of 25 Russian ceasefire violations since 2014 — raising sharp questions about whether 72 hours of quiet can lead to anything durable.
