The Russian president has ordered military operations halted for three days to commemorate victory over Nazi Germany

Putin is a master troll.

Declaring a short unilateral ceasefire with the pretext of being a goodwill gesture is a good move. It shows Trump that Russia is serious about negotiations to bring the war to an end and to show that Russia isn’t opposed to ceasefires in general. And it helps make the point that long term ceasefires with no agreements or monitoring aren’t really ceasefires.

But…

Declaring a unilateral ceasefire in celebration of the defeat of the nazi 3rd reich and he’s asking the banderite neo-nazis to observe it? That is just a muah chef kiss. Fucking hilarious.

    Reminds me a bit of the impromptu Christmas truce of the first winter of WWI.

    The soldiers clambered out of their trenches, chatted, played football, and enjoyed life. The soldiers learned to see the other side as humans, just like them.

    The following Christmases the soldiers were under strict orders to keep shooting on Christmas and not dare consort with the enemy.
