Zelensky announced a “silence regime” on the night of May 5-6.

“As of today, there has not been a single official appeal to Ukraine regarding the terms for a cessation of hostilities that are being discussed on Russian social networks. We believe that human life is an incomparably greater value than the ‘celebration’ of any anniversary. In this connection, we are declaring a silence regime starting from 00:00 on the night of May 5-6.

In the time remaining until then, it is entirely possible to ensure the onset of silence. We will act symmetrically starting from that moment. The time has come for Russian leaders to take real steps toward ending their war, if the Russian Ministry of Defense truly believes it cannot hold a parade in Moscow without Ukraine’s goodwill,” Zelensky wrote.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said it was introducing a truce on May 8 and 9.
