Putin Stuns World with Surprise Ukraine Ceasefire in May — Direct Talks Offered but Kyiv Holds Firm
In a stunning and unexpected move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire in the ongoing war in Ukraine, set to take place from May 8 to May 10, 2025.
This marks the first major shift in Russia’s approach to peace talks, as the Kremlin says it is now open to “unconditional” one-on-one negotiations.
However, Ukraine remains firm, having passed a law prohibiting direct talks with Putin following Russia’s 2022 annexation of four Ukrainian regions.

A day after being ignored by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif attempted damage control by praising Moscow’s ties with New Delhi, calling them “fine.” Sharif also lauded Putin as a “dynamic leader” and expressed Islamabad’s desire to strengthen relations with Russia. The awkward outreach came after Sharif was seen rushing behind Putin, who walked with China’s Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi warned against global terror double standards, highlighting decades of Pakistan-linked terrorism.

In a major geopolitical and energy shift, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a deal to build the “Power of Siberia-2” pipeline, delivering 50 bcm of gas annually via Mongolia to China. Gazprom hailed it as the world’s most ambitious gas project, alongside an 8 bcm expansion through existing routes.

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war.

Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region has come under a “massive attack,” according to regional governor Sergiy Lysak, who confirmed explosions in the key cities of Dnipro and Pavlograd. Residents have been urged to take shelter as Russian missiles and drones pound the region. Until now, Dnipropetrovsk had largely escaped the intensity of frontline battles, but the situation has shifted dramatically. Kyiv admitted that Russian forces have crossed into the region, while Moscow boasted of gaining a foothold there. This marks a dangerous expansion of the war, as the region is not among the five Ukrainian territories Russia has officially claimed. The attack raises fears of an intensified campaign in Ukraine’s industrial heartland, signaling that no part of the country is beyond reach. With explosions shaking Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, the strikes are seen as a chilling escalation that could redraw the battlefield once more.

Exiled Ukrainian MP Artyom Dmitruk has accused President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government of orchestrating the assassination of far-right politician Andrey Parubiy, who was gunned down in Lviv on Saturday. Dmitruk claims the trail leads directly to Bankova Street, home of the presidential administration, denouncing the investigation as staged. Ukrainian police are probing possible Russian involvement, while Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik alleged Parubiy was eliminated to ease future peace talks. The killing has ignited fierce blame games, exposing deep divisions in Ukraine’s politics and war strategy.

U.S. President Donald Trump is signaling a tougher stance on Russia as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that all options remain open for new sanctions amid Moscow’s intensified bombardment of Ukraine. Bessent called Putin’s actions “despicable and defiant,” marking the strongest hint yet of looming economic penalties. Despite Trump’s earlier hopes for diplomacy after his Alaska summit with Putin, frustration is mounting as Russian strikes escalate, fueling speculation that sanctions—or even broader confrontation—could push the U.S. and Russia closer to all-out conflict.
