Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a so-called "humanitarian" truce in the war against Ukraine to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, the Kremlin said on April 28.

President Trump has said Volodymyr Zelenskyy is prepared to give up Ukraine's claim to Crimea as part of a ceasefire deal to end his country's war with Russia.

The Trump administration is urging Russia and Ukraine to finalize a deal this week, calling on both sides to "finish it off" or the U.S. may walk away from mediating peace.
