Trump announces three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine with prisoner swap
Summary
US President Donald Trump has brokered a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, effective May 9 through May 11, to coincide with Russia’s Victory Day commemorations. The agreement mandates a total halt to military operations and includes a prisoner swap of 1,000 personnel from each side. While the deal is framed as a humanitarian step, its impact on geopolitical stability is being closely monitored by financial markets, particularly crypto sectors, where trading volumes for crypto-ruble pairs surged following the announcement.
