Thank you very much and God bless you.
Why not three cease fires?
In August Russia can celebrate their ally, Nazi Germany. August is the month they signed their treaty to mutually carve up Poland.
In June Russia can celebrate their ally, Nazi Germany becoming their enemy instead.
In May Russia can celebrate the final defeat of their erstwhile ally who became more recently their enemy.
They can have a three day cease fire in September to mark their joint operation with Germany to launch WWII.
Announcing a cease fire and observing the cease fire are two very different things, of course.
Watch the Ukies drop a bomb on the festivities.
Yay me, I predicted a Putin truce on May 9.
