President Trump "wants to see a permanent ceasefire first, to stop the killing, stop the bloodshed," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a three-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine next month to celebrate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany during World War II.

Vladimir Putin calls a three-day ceasefire in May, coinciding with events marking the 80th anniversary of World War Two's end.
