The proposed ceasefire coincides with World war II Victory Day celebrations, which will be attended by Chinese President Xi jinping. Zelensky referred to the three-day truce as a potential manipulation and stated Ukraine would not provide any safety guarantees during the parade. <\/p>\n<p>In response, Russia criticized zelensky\u2019s comments, with officials suggesting his statements posed a threat and implying that Ukraine might face consequences if provocations occurred during Victory Day. Both nations have issued threats as ceasefire negotiations crumble, and the United States may withdraw from its mediating role. Previous ceasefire attempts have been largely ineffective, with claims of violations from both sides.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Ukraine, Russia issue threats as three-day ceasefire proposal crumbles<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2110913\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Ukrainian President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Volodymyr-Zelensky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> suggested that his military would not abide by a three-day ceasefire laid out by Russian President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Vladimir-Putin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Vladimir Putin<\/a> earlier this week, instead offering a longer 30-day truce that is backed by the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Putin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3393358\/putin-ceasefire-weeks-after-breaking-last-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"announced \">announced<\/a> on Monday a suspension of &ldquo;all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/putin-claims-new-ceasefire-weeks-after-breaking-last-one\/\" title=\"... claims new ... weeks after breaking last one\">military actions&#038;rdquo<\/a>; from midnight May 8 to midnight May 11 to coincide with World War II Victory Day commemorations, celebrations that will be attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
