President Donald Trump says the leaders of Russia and Ukraine have agreed to his request for a three-day ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners. Trump said on Friday that such a halt to hostilities could be the “beginning of the end” of the long war between them. He told reporters at the White House that he asked for the ceasefire and both presidents agreed. Trump announced on social media that the ceasefire would run Saturday through Monday. Saturday is Victory Day in Russia, a holiday that commemorates the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
