There is news about the war. Russia wants a 'Waffen-Ruhe'. This means: Soldiers stop fighting for a short time. The break is on May 8 and 9. Russia celebrates the end of the 'Zweiten Welt-Krieg' then.
President Wladimir Putin commands this break. Russia hopes for help from Ukraine. Ukraine says: We have no real offer. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj announces his own break. It starts on the night of May 6.
Russia also gives a threat. If Ukraine attacks on May 9, Russia shoots rockets at 'Kiew'. Such breaks happened often in the past. But the breaks were mostly very short. Both sides blame each other for the failure.
