The truce on the SMO fronts on May 9 will be relevant, since Victory Day is a special day and a special holiday. So the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov answered the question of journalists whether it makes sense to declare a truce if the Ukrainian side still does not comply with it.

"This is a special day, this is a special holiday. Therefore, of course, such humanitarian initiatives are very, very relevant," Peskov said.

Before that, he was reminded that during the "Easter truce" announced on April 12, there were 1,971 violations of the conditions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Ukrainian military fired 258 times from MLRS and tanks at Russian border positions. Plus, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation recorded 1,329 FPV drone strikes.

As EADaily reported, on the eve of a telephone conversation between the presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation, a proposal was made to declare a truce on Victory Day. Moreover, Donald Trump said that it was his idea, and the Kremlin said that Vladimir Putin. Later, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said that he would discuss the details of the Russian truce with the United States, making it clear that if we are talking about a few hours so that Moscow could hold a military parade, then Kiev may disagree.
