Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Extended Until May 11

Russia, following the initiative of US President Donald Trump, agreed to extend the ceasefire with Ukraine until May 11. This development was announced by Russian Deputy President Yuri Ushakov. Ushakov stated that the extension was decided as a result of phone calls between the two countries.

Ushakov also confirmed that a prisoner exchange of 1000 for 1000 is planned between the parties. This formula was previously announced by Trump and is considered an important step for the prisoner exchange. The Russian official expressed that this agreement was reached during phone contacts with the US administration and that the US side is also in communication with Kiev.

These developments are a continuation of the phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on April 29. In the conversation, Putin had expressed his readiness to align the ceasefire with Victory Day. Ushakov emphasized the importance of Trump's initiative coinciding with the 81st Victory Day commemoration.

No official protocol or detailed schedule has been announced yet. Details regarding the implementation of the prisoner exchange and ceasefire are expected to be clarified in the coming days. Official statements from the parties will be followed for the progress of the process.

This step is considered part of efforts to reduce conflicts in Ukraine and seek diplomatic solutions. However, uncertainties remain about whether the ceasefire will be permanent and how the prisoner exchange process will proceed.
