Ukraine Demands Extended Ceasefire Amidst Renewed Russian Attacks | JQJO

Ukraine's President Zelenskyy demanded a 30-day ceasefire, calling for an immediate, full, and unconditional halt to hostilities. Russia's short-lived Easter ceasefire was quickly violated, with fighting resuming. Despite Russia's battlefield gains in eastern Ukraine, Ukraine continues to launch successful attacks on Russian military targets and infrastructure, including strikes on Moscow. Analysts suggest Russia's desired ceasefire around May 9th, a significant military holiday, is to avoid jeopardizing high-profile guests attending Moscow's Victory Day parade.
