In the early afternoon, Zelensky announced an upcoming visit by Trump's diplomatic team to Kyiv. The dominant story broke in the evening: Trump announced a three-day ceasefire for May 9-11, agreed by Zelensky and Putin, along with a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange. Zelensky confirmed the deal, framing it as a breakthrough after days of broken truces and escalating strikes.
