BREAKING, Putin has ordered a ceasefire in Ukraine following the wake of Orthodox Christmas eve celebration - @Joe reporting from WorldforumLIVE
The war across Europe may be about to end any time soon as news has it that Putin has ordered a ceasefire in Ukraine and it has been a top breaking around the world
Most news now has it that Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine on Orthodox Christmas, celebrated this week by both countries, according to the Kremlin.
The announcement comes following a request for a ceasefire during the religious holiday from Russia’s 76-year-old Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill.
This is the first time Russia introduced a full ceasefire in Ukraine since the launch of the offensive in February last year 2022. The announcement comes following a request for a ceasefire during the religious holiday from Russia’s 76-year-old Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill.
I instruct the defense minister of the Russian Federation to introduce from midnight (0900 GMT) on January 6, 2023, until 24:00 (2100 GMT) on January 7, 2023, a ceasefire along the entire line of contact between the sides in Ukraine,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
“Given the fact that a large number of citizens professing Orthodoxy live in the areas of combat, we call on the Ukrainian side to declare a ceasefire and allow them to attend church services on Christmas Eve, as well as on the Day of the Nativity of Christ,” the statement added.
In a call with the Russian leader earlier Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressed Putin to declare a “unilateral” ceasefire in Ukraine.
