Seeing as the reason is to celebrate WWII victory, it smacks a little bit of self congratulation and therefore Ukraine should ignore it.

Given Russia paints the Ukraine as being Nazi's i am not sure if that's a good idea. Also not forgetting we are also celebrating VE80, Keirs even letting the pubs open late.

I think regardless of the motivations of Russia or the likelihood of a ceasefire lasting. A pause in fighting is good for those in harms way.

Your first part, I take your point. Fair enough I'd forgotten it's a big anniversary.

Yes a ceasefire would be good, but in all honesty do you really think it will happen?

No I don't. It's always difficult to not suspect Russian motives. My gut feeling is that it's to appease the US. Given Trumps recent comments. It smacks of "Look we are the good guys".
 
USA - "women can't fight"
Ukraine - "I'm not even a 'proper' soldier"
Svitlana, a nurse from the 128th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine, destroyed a group of Russian occupiers with a well-aimed shot from a grenade launcher, saving her unit from encirclement.


When the Russians attacked with armored vehicles and landing forces, Svitlana was at the company stronghold. At that moment, the unit was left without a commander, so she took command. Svitlana received instructions via radio from the battalion commander.


After a group of Russians entered one of the houses from the rear and took fire control of the escape routes, Ukrainian Warriors were surrounded. At first, Svitlana fired back together with her brothers-in-arms. But when it became clear that the unit's positions were surrounded, the woman picked up a disposable grenade launcher.


"I asked the guys to hold on and in no case leave their positions, because then we would definitely not be able to stand it. I took a disposable grenade launcher and went to meet the Russian attack unit. They got too close – they were only two houses away. I went around them, got up and fired a shot into the window of the house. The entire group of occupiers remained there," Svitlana recalls.


For her heroism, she was awarded the Cross of the Ground Forces.


Svitlana worked as a nurse in the intensive care unit of the Mechnikov Hospital in Dnipro. She voluntarily went to the front from the first days of the full-scale invasion.

Was never going to attend the talks. Think of a Mafia boss who knows the risk is too high to be ambushed and assassinated. If I was Zalensky's advisors I would advise him to stay away as well.

I think Putin also wants to show that he won't be talking to Zelenskiy, only to the "new president", as he was insisting previously that Zelenskiy must go away etc etc,so tries to force Ukrainians to make elections like that if they want to "end the war" (but it's my theory,so don't really know).
