MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Tuesday that Russian forces still planned to cease fire in Ukraine from May 8-10 as per President Vladimir Putin’s orders, but would respond if Ukrainian forces tried to strike Russian positions.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia had so far not heard a single statement from Kyiv indicating it was ready to abide by the three-day ceasefire which Putin declared last week to coincide with World War Two commemorations.
