Ukraine rejects President Putin’s Russian Orthodox Christmas truce – BBC News


Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to impose a 36-hour ceasefire on the Ukrainian frontline, beginning on Friday.

The ceasefire, scheduled to start at 12:00 Moscow time (09:00 GMT), will coincide with the Russian Orthodox Christmas.

Mr Putin asked Ukraine to accept it, but Kyiv quickly rejected the request.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said the truce was an attempt to stop his country’s military advances.
