I think now we know why [[Putin]] initiated a 90-minute phone call with [[Trump]]. Trump posted on [[Truth Social]] that he brokered a 3-day [[ceasefire]] extending from May 9 to May 11, confirmed by the [[Russian]] [[newspaper of record]] [[TASS]]. In days prior, things heated up quickly with [[Zelensky]] threatening to attack one million [[civilian]]s marching in the streets of [[Moscow]] in the [[Immortal Regiment]], with the Russian Foreign Ministry officially warning all embassies and civilians to evacuate the [[Kyiv]] government sector because of an inevitable [[Oreshnik]] retaliatory [[decapitation]] strike (heck, the Russians could have even staged a [[false flag]] [[drone]] attack on [[Moscow]] and killed a few [[civilian]]s to justify an instantaneous retaliatory strike). But Putin doesn't want to destroy artifacts of [[Kievan Rus']] in [[Ukraine]], so he spared Zelensky the retaliatory strike. Believe it or not, this is the way things are sometimes done. Putin now owes Trump a favor. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 19:14, May 9, 2026 (EDT)
