KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The impact of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order for his forces in Ukraine to observe a unilateral, 36-hour cease-fire was in doubt Friday after Kyiv officials dismissed the move as a ploy but didn’t clarify whether Ukrainian troops would follow suit.
Moscow also didn’t say whether it would hit back if Ukraine kept fighting.
The Russian-declared truce in the nearly 11-month war began at noon Friday and was to continue through midnight Saturday Moscow time (0900 GMT Friday to 2100 GMT Saturday; 4 a.m. EST Friday to 4 p.m. EST Saturday). There were no immediate reports of it being broken....
... It came after the Russian Orthodox Church head, Patriarch Kirill, proposed a cease-fire for this weekend’s Orthodox Christmas holiday. The Orthodox Church, which uses the Julian calendar, celebrates Christmas on Jan. 7....

Blessed be the peace makers.
Putin is just trying to halt Ukrainian initiative and momentum, and get some sort of ceasefire in place where he can keep what he’s taken, making it fait accompli.
All he needs is 36 hours..right
I have not seen a single statement about this 36 hour truce proposal that reflects statesmanship by any so-called western world leader.
And Biden is one of the worst liars.
Meanwhile the ceasefire time has started in Ukraine.
The invaders will probably stage a false-flag op somewhere in their occupied territory. Bomb civilians at a Christmas church service or something similar. Typical kremlin MO, what they used to justify their destruction of Chechnya.
Typical Kremlin operation, like bombing Poland with the Ukrainian missile, or hitting a PoW camp with HIMARS.
But then the killing of white people stops!
Or, like posting fake Kremlin garbage on a website.
If Putin wants peace, all he has to do is withdraw his invading army from Ukraine.
Don’t forget the S-300 missile that landed in Belarus, or the drone/missile that landed in Croatia.
The most vile to date is a Kramatorsk false flag, where they fired two “Russian missiles” killing more than hundred people. They banned the reporters from the city beforehand but someone still pictured Ukrainian wrecks.
Why garbage?
That sounds a lot like you.
LOL
based on what?
We’re at 16% globally.
Well, now I see what ‘Q’ means... Har!
Are you afraid we’ll learn about the lies and propaganda put forth by the discredited Boris Berezovsky, with his allies in Whitehall no doubt?
Boris, a man who had plenty of his own dealings in Chechnya and even Ukraine and was actually declared persona non-grata for national security reasons in Latvia.
Interesting how he sent an apology to Putin just before his death, a letter confirmed authentic by his girlfriend at the time.
Boris was a troubled man, God rest his soul. But reaching back to the movie he made about Yeltsin era conflicts is not as relevant as say the Ukrainians trying to start WWW 3 with completely transparent false flag attempts, including the failed dirty bomb explosion in Mykolayiv.
