Selenskyj plans a pause in the war

167

Wolodymyr Selenskyj is the president of Ukraine. He wants a 'Waffen-Ruhe'. It starts on the night of May 6. This is at midnight. Russia also wants a break. Russia celebrates a victory on May 9. That is a big holiday in Moscow.

President Selenskyj speaks about Russia. He calls the actions of Russia 'zynisch'. 'Zynisch' means: Russia has no feelings. Russia is not honest. Russia wants a break for a party. But Russia also fires many rockets. People die in these attacks.

There were bad attacks in the region Poltawa. 5 people died there. Among the dead are also rescue workers. Russia attacked one place 2 times. First there was a big blast. Then helpers came. Then Russia attacked the helpers again. That is very dangerous and cruel.

Ukraine also attacks targets in Russia. A big factory for weapons is hit. An oil plant in the north burns. Ukraine uses its own 'Drohnen' and rockets. Selenskyj says: Russia can end the war now. Then the attacks from Ukraine also stop.
