Reuters reported that U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 8th that Russia and Ukraine agreed to implement a three-day ceasefire from May 9 to 11. On this occasion, peace actions to promote the end of more than four years of war between Russia and Ukraine are still stalled. According to news released by the local chiefs and police today, one person was killed in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson oblasts each in Russian drone attacks. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia dispatched 27 long-range drones towards Ukraine overnight. The number was smaller than usual, and all of them were shot down by the air defense system. The Ukrainian General Staff’s daily morning report stated that a total of 147 conflicts occurred on the front line in the past 24 hours. Ukrainian officials have not publicly commented on Russia’s violation of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, which originally included an exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war between the two sides. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated today that Ukraine violated the ceasefire agreement and launched drone and artillery attacks on the Russian army. Russia shot down 57 Ukrainian drones.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Kyiv, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 8th) U.S. President Trump announced today that Russia and Ukraine will cease fire for three days starting from the 9th, and expressed hope that this will become the beginning of a long-term agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Agence France-Presse reported that Russia had previously announced that in order to commemorate Victory Day in World War II on May 9, it would implement a two-day unilateral ceasefire from the 9th. Ukraine said it had also proposed a ceasefire but was ignored by Moscow. Trump posted on his social platform “Truth Social” that “I am pleased to announce that the Russia-Ukraine war will implement a three-day ceasefire on May 9th, 10th and 11th.” He also stated that during the ceasefire, both sides will exchange 1,000 prisoners of war. He said: “This request was made directly by me, and I am very grateful to President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for agreeing… I hope this will be the beginning of the end of this long, deadly and fierce war.” Before Trump announced the ceasefire, Russia and Ukraine continued to attack each other today. Ukraine has never stated before that it would abide by the short ceasefire proposed by Russia, criticizing Putin for only wanting to ensure that the annual military parade on Red Square on the 9th goes smoothly. Russia has threatened to launch a large-scale attack on the core areas of Kiev if Ukraine interferes with the Victory Day military parade, and has repeatedly called on foreign diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital early. In the 25 years since Putin has been in power, he has used the historical memory of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany as the core narrative. He holds a large military parade in the center of Moscow on May 9 every year and uses this to rationalize the invasion of Ukraine.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Geneva, July 7, Comprehensive Foreign News Report) Although the United States and Argentina have announced their withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), the WHO said today that it still maintains good cooperation with the United States and U.S. agencies in responding to the deadly hantavirus epidemic, and also thanked the Argentine government for its cooperation. Agence France-Presse reported that the hantavirus outbreak occurred on the cruise ship MV Hondius in the Atlantic Ocean. The outbreak was only confirmed last weekend. Many countries are currently working to monitor passengers who had left the cruise ship and returned home before then. It is reported that many passengers have returned to the United States, which has announced its withdrawal from the WHO under President Donald Trump. WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the two sides continue to exchange technical information. He told reporters at the WHO headquarters in Geneva: “The current situation is actually the same as in the past, that is to say, we share information here and obtain information from the United States.” Argentina is one of the core countries of this crisis. The Hondias sailed from the country on April 1, and the first case of the epidemic is believed to be infected in Argentina, and Argentina has also announced its withdrawal from the WHO. Tedros said today that the WHO “is cooperating with the Argentine health authorities.” The “Andes strain” circulating there is the only hantavirus strain known to be transmitted from person to person, and it is also the culprit of this epidemic. “I would like to thank the Argentine government for its cooperation based on their experience and expertise with the Andes strain,” Tedros said. He added that the WHO had “arranged to ship 2,500 test kits from Argentina to laboratories in five countries.” According to Tedros told reporters in Geneva, a total of 5 confirmed and 3 suspected cases, including 3 deaths, have been reported so far. He also said that more cases may emerge, and the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands announced later that another patient had tested positive. Abdi Rahman Mahamud, director of the WHO’s Emergency Alert and Response Unit, said: “We believe that if public health measures are implemented and countries work together, this will be a contained epidemic.” People believed to be infected with the virus are being treated or quarantined in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and South Africa. Maria Van Kerkhove, Director of Epidemic and Pandemic Management, WHO Kerkhove) also emphasized: “This is not the beginning of an epidemic, nor is it the beginning of a pandemic. This is not COVID.” (Compiled by: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150508 supports Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts. Every donation you make is a force to protect press freedom.
