This is the first time Russia introduced a full ceasefire in Ukraine since the launch of the offensive in February last year.

The announcement comes following a request for a ceasefire during the religious holiday from Russia’s 76-year-old Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill.

“I instruct the defence minister of the Russian Federation to introduce from 12:00 (0900 GMT) on January 6, 2023 until 24:00 (2100 GMT) on January 7, 2023 a ceasefire along the entire line of contact between the sides in Ukraine,” the Kremlin said in a statement.

“Given the fact that a large number of citizens professing Orthodoxy live in the areas of combat, we call on the Ukrainian side to declare a ceasefire and give them the opportunity to attend church services on Christmas Eve, as well as on the Day of the Nativity of Christ,” the statement added.

In a call with the Russian leader earlier Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressed Putin to declare a “unilateral” ceasefire in Ukraine.

A man with a big heart.

If by 2023, you still feels Russia is in Ukraine for War. Then something is wrong with you.

Russia is in Ukraine for world peace. It signifies the beginning of the liberation of the world from the shackles of Evil powers, spearheaded by Nato, Eu and the west.

Evil people who go about spending billions of dollars on Medical healthcare and research but still encourages mental disorderliness in the form of homosexuality.

You are not even ashame to mentioned these names you stated above.

These people and their country didnt even do 2% of what Russia is doing. But a no-fly zone was declared, their country were invaded and they were killed after stealing and looting their golds.

My question is; why havent your West-Lord invaded Russia to elimate Put!n themselves just like the the names aforementioned?

One-man against many , but everyday all we hear are excuses on why invading Russia can cause world-war three. Cowards
